Wow. You can even see little climbers and tents on the Lhotse face. Thanks for the link!

Truly amazing. Yup, you can see some just getting started at the bottom and all up along the thing. So cool.Jim Davies wrote:Wow. You can even see little climbers and tents on the Lhotse face. Thanks for the link!

Very cool.

Re: Super cool gigapixle
you can even see a few climbers scattered throughout the icefall. Really gives a good perspecitive on how massive Everest is.

AMAZING I just spent 30 minutes following the south col route!! It really brings the scale of the mountain into perspective!!
To climb is to push yourself in a way you might not normally imagine is possible. If your stamina, skill, and luck are sound you will get to stand on top. ... I realized that with climbing, I'd found something that nourished my soul and could forge me into a better version myself - Jim Davidson

Wow! Thanks for sharing. Anyone know what camp or village the stone buildings with the blue roofs are? Visible in the center bottom of the screen if you pan all the way right and zoom in.

Re: Super cool gigapixle
I think I've spotted a pair of climbers on the north ridge route also. With a little searching maybe somebody can find Irvine.
