This allows the body time to adapt to the increasing altitude and reduce the risk of altitude sickness. It is essential to follow this schedule and not rush the acclimatization process, as it can have serious consequences for climbers' health and safety.
The total time spent acclimatizing at the various camps before attempting the summit of Mount Everest can range from 4 to 6 weeks. This timeframe can vary depending on individual climbers' fitness, experience, and how their bodies respond to the altitude.
