When l was younger Rebecca Stephens visited my school and gave us a motivational speech on her climb up Everest. l just remember being awestruck by her adventure. l do not know where to begin planning it. l know it is not a walk in the park, however i'm willing to go through the training. Is anyone aware of any groups who specialise in Everest? Thanks

well l do not know any groups but you might go to ask.com.
any way



have good luck climbing up that crazy thing.

hope you have a good time,
Lexii Kay.

Start training today. Take mountaineering courses that teach u about technique, equipment, routes & survival. Then begin a minimum of two to three years of regular practice climbs in high alpine terrain, including steep faces, rough rocks, night climbs, ice falls & snow climbs.
Step2
Get a complete physical checkup. You will need healthy veins & arteries to pump lots of blood to ur brain & muscles, as well as to warm ur body. Keep ur blood pressure & cholesterol down.
Step3
Raise the cash. You will need plenty, even a low-budget trip will cost $25,000, with guided package trips soaring to as much as $60,000. Realize that $10,000 goes to permits alone; then add travel, food, equipment, oxygen, insurance & Sherpa fees. Consider approaching corporations for sponsorship deals to cover ur expenses.
Step4
Plan a May expedition. The weather is most cooperative then (when it is not a whiteout, blowing 100-mph winds, & 50 degrees below zero). Six months in advance, u will need to file for permits & send copies of passports & climbing letters of recommendation for ur team to the Nepal Ministry & Administration, as well as to a trekking agency to help u with transporting ur gear. You will also need to contract with Sherpas to aid u on ur voyage. For more information, contact the Nepalese Embassies & Consulate Offices in Washington, D.C., or in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Step5
Pack a first aid kit, medications, satellite phone, walkie-talkies, laptop computer, padlocks for bags, tents, sleeping bags, mountaineering clothing, climbing equipment & ropes, water, food, trash bags, sun-screen, vision protection, oxygen bottles & anything else u can fit on a yak or on ur back, or that u can hire a Sherpa to carry for you. Make sure you've tested all ur gear in cold, severe conditions before u pack it.
Step6
Get yourself to Kathmandu, Nepal, where ur expedition truly begins. You can fly a number of international carriers connecting through major airports; none of these flights will be direct or nonstop. Jet lag is guaranteed. Check in with the local authorities, pay ur fees & organize ur crew.
Step7
Trek from Lukla to Base Camp at 17,600 feet. Scale the Khumbu Icefall up to 19,500 feet. Rest at Camp l in the Valley of Silence. Push on to Camp I l at 21,300 feet. Scale the Lhotse Face & climb to Camp II l at 23,500 feet. Rest & acclimatize for the trip to Camp IV, which at 26,300 feet is the only camp located in the 'death zone.'
Step8
Charge the summit when u have a weather window. Start early in the morning, before sunrise, with extra down mittens & plenty of oxygen.
Step9
Sit atop the 29,028-foot summit & know that u r at the highest point on earth. And then mentally prepare for the descent, because getting down is just as dangerous.
Step10
Pack out all of ur empty oxygen bottles & trash to get back ur $4,000 environmental deposit & leave the mountain with good karma.


i found this on some web-site l thought it would help
but l didnt find where u could plan one

Good for you

l doubt it

First step is to start climbing glaciers & snow covered peaks - take a mountaineering / glacier travel course & see if u like this kind of climbing. l know there is a good Glacier class on Mt. Washington in Washington state.

You really need to get some smaller peak experience before u even consider climbing Everest. You may find that u love climbing on snow & u may not - find that out early.

Either learn from a professional guide or an experienced climber that u meet at a climbing gym or climbing area. Many experienced climbers will be willing to teach a new climber.

Good Luck

That is a good idea.However ,It is really a tough one and you must prepare many things from equipments to the extremely good health. l will give you a website at which you can find something for your climbing
