The crampons will be out and the ice axes will be out on the Hillary Step.
And Ed Viesturs is good at high altitude I hear.

Just sayin.

Conrad Anker will take it without supplemental oxygen.

Tenzing

N.B. The copycatted thread mentioned "Hillary" which as one poster noted was the man who with Tenzing Norgay first reach the summit of Everest in 1953. Ed Viesturs is a present day mountain climber and has summited Everest something like five times without supplemental oxygen. Conrad Anker is also an accomplished Himalayan mountaineer.
