...or do you need to like register somewhere with the Nepal government? Are you required to have a sherpa? Or can anyone just go and start climbing lol

NO

sure just go show up.

You can just really star climbing but they do have tour guides. l heard you have to go to first base and back down and to second and third and back down before you can climb to the top.

hey, l heard on the news that a blind guy climbed it.it can not be to hard to access

l guess you can if you want to. It is not like it is private property.

So you wanna be climbing buddies?

:)

interesting question ,, l think u need to register, no idea

You not only need to register, but you also need special training, or they wo not let you up there. You need funding also, l believe. It costs alot to get up there, because you need someone to go with you, not to mention the equipment. Also, being that high up, its really hard to breath. A person needs to make sure they have equipment for that too.

No, you can not just go up and start climbing. MOST people that go up are either rich, or have a company SPONSOR them up. The sheer cost of buying the proper clothing (and no winter coat will do), the oxygen tanks, and trust me, after the second or third base camp, you NEED them, plus the food and the tents, etc. It is NOT cheap.

Thats a good question l thing you ave to register also.

aside from the cost of equipment ,which is really expensive l think you have to get a climbing permit from the government. l think they are in the high 6 figures.so get your permit ,equipment training,transportation to there and back and guides and your all set.Oh ya do not forget to allow the cost of outfitting your local guide they run a big scam,between trips they sell their high dollar gear and part of their rate includes new equipment and they only us the very best.

You have to have a butt load of money to pay the govenment for climbing fees, basically a tax. You have to pay a few grand for a sherpa, around €5000. You need a load of experience or no one will climb it with you. You need equipment, thermals, oxygen, gear etc. And you need to have experience with high altitude.

See the link about getting permission from the Nepal Mountaineering Association, which regulates climbing in Nepal. Besides permit application & fees, u have to have a sirdar or a guide with u at all times to make sure u comply with the regulations & routes.

There is NO physical requirement nor previous experience necessary, so, yes, ''anyone'' can just go & try climbing Mt. Everest, even if they're blind, one-legged agoraphobics who have never been outside of the house until today.

Climbing Everest is a strictly regulated activity. There r a few layers of buracracy, permits & the like. You do need a guide (like a sherpa) & an enforcer.
It is very expensive to climb the mountain. Most people who ''climb'' (and l use the term very loosely) it r wealthy or part of a larger sponsored group.

Now to get preachy:
l think too many people r just ''anyone'' though & they buy their way up the mountain. l feel that even though the environ is very difficult & those that made the summit were actually there, that those people did not nesecarily climb it in any style that needs to even be recognized!
It is a sacred mountain. l think too many people do not acknowledge the spiritual significance of the mountain. l also think some of these people r mocking the whole essence of the sport by hireing someone to ''drag'' them up the mountain!
Just because u can afford to do it, can afford to litter the mountain with ur garbage & spent oxygen bottles does not mean u should!
Granted the local economy & the people of the areas have benifited by the turism & outfitting..
l think climbing Qomolangma (Everest) in true alpine style, light & sporting is the true essence of climbing.That is why It has historically been such a challange! Not every one, even strong experianced climbers, r cut out to tackle something in this realm. It is practiced by those who have studied the mountains, learned the peculiarities of altitude, payed their dues, sacrificed, rejoiced & basically earned a right to climb mountains of this caliber (although there r a handful that easily challange & perhaps better Qomolanga in terms of difficulty).

Yes, you have to register. You also will need to pay a fee. You probably should not just clime it without being in excellent physical condition because you might never come down.

Anyone with the cash can basically go & try to climb Mt. Everest.

You can climb Mt. Everest from either the Chinese (Tibetan) side or the Nepalese side. Both countries issue permits; from Nepal it is $10,000 per person for expeditions of 7 or larger ($25,000 if u go solo). A liaison officer is also required for each expedition on the Nepalese side & a $4,000 garbage deposit. Climbers departing from China only require a $4900 fee per climber, but China is considering a $2000 increase.

For a commercial fully guided climb to the summit costs start at around $30,000 excluding transportation to China or Nepal & ur personal gear. Figure on about $40,000-60,000 all told.

Stories about climbers learning how to put on their crampons at the beginning of their Everest climbs r not unheard of. This suggests that they have almost no mountaineering experience.

A recommended progression for someone in North America might look like this:
Intro to mountaineering class
Climb several glaciated mountains or at least high peaks (10,000 ft min.) with snow on them & practice use of crampons, ice ax, belaying, rope work, glacier rescue techniques & winter camping
Climb several peaks in Mexico or South America with glaciers & elevations over 17,000 ft.
Climb Aconcagua
Climb Denali (while lower in altitude Denali is much colder & technically more difficult than Aconcagua.)
Climb Everest

Many people wo not do all of these steps, but those who do will have a much better chance of surviving Everest.
