The Arabs with Altitude are suited up on the way!! They will cross the South Col and start up the Triangular Face at 8,100 meters. The route up the Triangular face joins the main summit ridge, which they will then follow to the Balcony at 8,300.
In this picture taken by Michael Horst from the Summit of Lhotse, you can clearly see the Everest Climbing route. The most prominent ridge line on the sun/shade boarder is the ridge our climbers will take to the top. The Balcony is where the ridge veers to the left and you can make out the South Summit where the ridge dips down just below the true Everest Summit.
