Mount Everest is located on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The southern approach, which is the most popular route for climbers, begins in Nepal, while the northern route starts in Tibet. The mountain stands as the highest peak in the world, with an elevation of 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above sea level. The movie "Everest" depicts the challenges faced by climbers attempting to reach its summit.

The cost of climbing Mount Everest, often around $40,000 or more, includes various factors. These expenses cover permits (which can be over $11,000), experienced guides, gear, logistics, food, and accommodation. Climbing companies also factor in safety measures, support staff, and insurance. The demanding environment of Everest requires extensive preparation and high-quality equipment, all contributing to the overall cost. Additionally, the limited climbing season and high demand drive prices up for this extreme adventure.

The 2 PM rule on Everest is a guideline for climbers that states they should turn back by 2 PM, regardless of their position on the mountain. This is to ensure that climbers have enough time to descend safely before darkness falls, as conditions can become perilous at night with lower temperatures and reduced visibility. Adhering to this rule helps reduce the risk of accidents and exhaustion, allowing climbers to prioritize their safety over reaching the summit.

Yes, the body known as "Sleeping Beauty" is still on Mount Everest. This nickname refers to the body of Francys Arsentiev, who died on the mountain in 1998. Her body was discovered at an altitude of around 8,500 meters (27,900 feet) and remains there due to the extreme conditions and challenges associated with recovery efforts. Many climbers have reported seeing her, as she is located near the summit route, and her presence highlights the risks and dangers of high-altitude climbing.
