      Mt Everest
          The highest mountain in the
      world. A peak of the great Himilaya, Mt Everest looms above
      the frontier between Tibet and Napal. Its elevation as of 1954
      was between 29,028 and 29,040 ft. Local name of the peak is
      "CHOMOLUNGMA" or Goddess Mother of the World.
          From the summit of Mt Everest,
      the Northeast Ridge descends to a shoulder, and from there the
      North Pi,~ne falls to a saddle with the North Col below which
      trie and the East Rongbuk glaciers flow northward into
      Tibet. The Southeast Ridge drops to the South Col, below which
      lies a basin called the Western Cwm, feeding the Khumbar
      qlacier. This glacier turns southward in Napal. The Western
          r~~ns down to a pass on the frontier. At the mountain's
      base the altitude is 17,000-18,000 ft. The North Col's
      altitude is 22,900 ft, the South Col is 25,850 ft. To date the
      mountain has been climbed 35 times.
