For you Mountaineers out there. Mount Everest Climb.

Here you can talk about whatever floats your boat. Your favorite movie, sports team, etc. If it's a little racey, I suggest you post in R&R, otherwise we'll move it for you.

For you Mountaineers out there. Mount Everest Climb.

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

If you are at all interested in the climbers taking on the mountain, you can watch a live webcam of Mount Everest on this site: http://share-everest.it/SHAREEverest201 ... attar.html

The live webcam of course is only operational during daylight hours. Also note that the webcam page itself is in Italian.

[loosely translated by Google]
The webcam is operational during daylight hours, so between 6:30 and 17:30 Nepalese (from 1:45 to 12:45, Italian time).

In the spring, where you do most of the climbing expeditions, we often excellent visibility, with dry air and few clouds. It may still happen that a rising cloudy dates from the valley, in this case we will have a gray screen of the typical conditions of dense fog. What to see this nice demo made ​​by Mr. Udabajra, a Nepalese, published on youtube.

In general, the climate in the Indian subcontinent is divided into a dry season (also called dry monsoon) which extends from November to late May and a wet season (monsoon monsoon or wet), which runs from June to September-October. During this period, the webcam will return mostly images of clouds. Read more: What regulates the seasons in the Himalayas? Identikit of the monsoon.
