| 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 | |

| D Watson | North Ridge- Northeast Ridge Date Climbed: May 11, 2006 | |
| 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! | |

| 7summits | Route Climbed: Tibet, N/NE ridge Date Climbed: 2-june-2005 | |
| Tough climb, very louzy weather all the way up, clear on summitday though with a strong wind all day and night. Trip report and more pics can be found on my site, see my profile if you want to find out, I am not permitted to post it here. Everest is a very serious mountain, and this year again underestimated with 6 deaths as a result. Climb safe, Harry | |

| Drazil | Route Climbed: South / Nepal Date Climbed: Spring 2004 | |
| Although my dream of reaching the summit did not come to fruition, I would not trade my experience for anything! Nepal was an incredible cultural experience and the people I was with (Mountain Link www.mountain-link.com) , as well as the people I met during the expedition, were well worth the expeirience - speaking specifically of Dr. Luanne Freer www.basecampmd.com and her staff without whom, my trip would have been a tragic one. (Will post photos before too long) Namaste Liz | |

| Alan Arnette | Route Climbed: South Col Date Climbed: May 2003 | |
| Well, another tough year for me. Reached 27,000' before turning back - between the South Col and the balcony. Last year it was a lung infection with a horrbile cough, this year it was similar but worse above 23,000'. The symptoms were idential to altitude sickness so maybe I was not meant to be that high :) Anyway, I accomplished my goal of doing my best and getting as high as possible without endangering anyone. For the full report, please see my website at www.alanarnette.com. Thanks to all at SP (especially William) for your kind words and support. I'l let you know the next big one I go for!! | |
