Thanks, base camp is a small tent city, flash back to the Occupy movement LOL. I found quite a number of climbers, you almost need traffic control up there.

Re: Mt. Everest 2 Billion Pixel Pic. Zoomable.

okkaps,

Those green squares didn't highlight anything special for me, and there were a hell-of-a-lot of climbers alot higher up, and much further to the right. Looked like two separate parties at the base of the face.

Base camp is at 18000'.

Re: Mt. Everest 2 Billion Pixel Pic. Zoomable.

On the picture, is it the South Base Camp in Nepal or the North Base Camp in Tibet?

 

[Maple One]

Re: Mt. Everest 2 Billion Pixel Pic. Zoomable.

OK. I got the information, for those who want to know, it's the South Base Camp.
