The following graph and table is the actual itinerary that our team followed on our Spring 2010 Everest Expedition. The actual itinerary followed by a Everest Expedition team will vary based on the year as a result of weather and the climbing team members. The largest weather factor is the beginning of the monsoon season and the position of the jet stream in the Everest region.
