SSummitMateDescription of the combined route 4A category of complexity to the summit Vostochnaya Rongetti via the North-Eastern wall.
96. Ronchetti Vostochnaya via North-Eastern wall (combined route, cat. 4A)
The path from the CSP of the Tsey district to the initial bivouac on the plateau of the Southern branch of the Tsey glacier under the North-Eastern wall of Vostochnaya Ronchetti. From the bivouac, across the plateau (closed crevices), approach the North-Eastern wall of Vostochnaya Rongetti peak. From the plateau, having passed the bergschrund, ascend to a steep snow-ice slope under the left side of the North-Eastern wall of Vostochnaya Rongetti. Then, along a steep 60–70-meter snow-ice slope, approach a 10–12-meter rock couloir wall of the North-Eastern wall. From the snow patch, ascend the 10–12-meter wall of moderate difficulty rocks to the right and upwards into the rock couloir. Ascend 60 m straight up through simple and moderately difficult rocks, possibly snow-covered, passing the wall on the left in the lower part. Further ascent:
- 100 m along steep moderately difficult rocks on the right side of the couloir (piton belay);
- 120 m along tile-like steep, above moderate difficulty, rocks of the wall («live» rocks, piton belay). Then, traverse 30–40 m through the couloir and two small ridges to the left into a wet but simpler couloir. From here:
- Ascend frozen and wet rocks of moderate and above moderate difficulty (piton belay) on the right side of the couloir to a rock plug;
### Climbing Mount Everest via the South Col: A Classic Route Overview The ascent of Everest from Nepal's southern side is one of the most popular and historically significant routes to the summit. This route involves traversing the South Col, a saddle-shaped ridge connecting Everest with Lhotse, the world's fourth-highest mountain. Climbers typically start from Base Camp on the Khumbu Glacier and proceed through several intermediate camps before reaching the summit. The route is considered challenging due to extreme altitude, harsh weather conditions, and steep terrain. Despite these challenges, it remains a coveted achievement among mountaineers and adventurers worldwide.
