Total duration for Everest summit takes 7 to 10 weeks; how long does it take to climb Mount Everest base camp? First one week spend to reach the Everest base camp. Rest of weeks is for climbing preparation and final summit to reach the top.
When Jim Whittaker climbed Everest in 1963, he was the ninth person to the summit, and this year there's 300 plus permitted climbers and probably 400 climbing Sherpas in support of those climbers, he said. Last year alone 658 climbers and guides reached the summit. It took 41 years -- from 1953 to 1994 -- for the first 658. The percentage who reaches the summit is also climbing, from 24 percent in 2000 to 64 percent in 2013. That's due mainly to better gear, better guides and improved weather forecasting.
