| Summited Everest from the North at 12pm on May 25th, 2010. To assist others on how to prepare for Everest and what the North East route is like I have written the book "Reaching for Everest - an inspirational book on climbing mountains and pushing boundaries in life".

| erik_ravenstijn | A perfect day on the roof of the world Date Climbed: May 20, 2009 | |
| Very, very lucky I was with the nice weather on the summit day. Stood on the summit at only 5am in the morning, after a climb from the South Col. After all I must say, it was not so terrible exhausting as I thought it would be. A truly beautiful summit! | |

| sherpagirl | Cleo Weidlich - Everest Date Climbed: May 17, 2010 | |
| Was stuck on that snail traffic above the balcony. I had the usual bad weather of 8000ers on my summit day. The number of people was a little scary, as it made even more unsafe going up or down the mountain. And the number of people unskilled for an 8000er was even scarier. Glad I did well and it was over soon. | |

| Summited at 10:00am. Poor conditions with no view but not too cold. Stayed on summit for about 30 minutes. Weather improved during descent. Arrived back at base camp just in time for a one meter snow storm. Completion of Seven Summits. | |

| richardpattison | South East Ridge via South Col Date Climbed: May 19, 2009 | |
| Reportedly the busiest day in history, 88 climbers summitted, all from the south side. The queues were terrible, we were at the back of the line and went through phases where we had to wait 2 or 3 minutes between steps, it was more like Snowdon than Everest! Not the romantic summit experience you dream of, but we got there. Had an hour on top before the cloud and snow came in. 13 hours up (queues!!) and 4.5 hours down. A fantastic experience! | |

| boriskrielen | Dutch Chomolungo Expedition 2004 Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2004 | |
| I joined the Dutch Chomolungo Expedition 2004 last minute, just to see what it was like. We went for the north side in autumn. There were no other expeditions on the whole mountain. Didn't expect to get a chance for the summit due to a lack of training and several other reasons. Great expedition though. I reached the bottom of the North Col. Will I go back one day...!? :D | |

| Beautiful day! Half hour on top alone. Left the summit at 8am, was back at the North Col at 1pm, breaking down camps along the way. 2 days later went up to 7200m and telemark skied down. | |

| km_donovan | Route Climbed: The North Ridge Tibet | |
| I was forced back to base camp after having spent several at ABC (21, 500 ft.) My altitude cough was uncontrollable and developed into pleuritis. I eventually broke ribs from coughing. Disappointed? Yes, but I got to go. I would not have traded the experience for anything. | |

| tetontom | N Col / NE Ridge Date Climbed: Jun 4, 2005 | |
| We had truly BAD weather in 2005, mostly un-climbable winds. I just feel lucky that all 5 of us (Monica, Jean, Sonam Sherpa, Dawa Sherpa, and myself) summitted without anything epic happening. Namaste! | |
