Starting point Base Camp on Mt. Everest
Getting there It might be 60-70 km and took 6 days from Lukla Airport to Base camp. We took 2 days for adaptation in high altitude environment.

We usually walked 10-15 km per day.

Directions Actually we were supposed to plan to climb Fantasy Ridge (East Ridge). However, we changed our route from East Ridge to South East Ridge because of the situation that Chinese government completely restricted any access to Tibet.

We had made from camp1 to camp.4 (8,000m) on Mt. Everest

We tried three times : Four members headed to the top but were forced to withdraw due to deteriorating weather conditions again. The expedition made decision to give up their ascent.

you'll never make it Seong, the ridge is too dangerous to attempt. I see you postponed until the fall...I would recommend cancelling and trying the North face in the winter, a worthy goal that is still unclimbed

Nevermind, I realize you are climbing further south and near lhotse. Is this correct?
