Everest is fearsome from Base Camp. Chomolungma is the Tibetan name for the mountain, the Chinese spell it Qomolangma - Jamie

The climb to North Col (Camp 1, also called camp 4) - Jamie

Near the summit. Shishapangma is in the distance, slightly left of Cho Oyu 8201m, the white flat-topped peak (normally climbed from the other side).
In the centre with the big face is Gyachung Kang, the 15th highest mountain, just below the magic 8000m mark.

Those layers! Ascending the last section to the summit.

Rod Mackenzie has an amazing 360º panorama from the summit [needs QuickTime].
