Everest Virtual Base Camp to Summit: Decision Points & Reality

This virtual journey simulates the route from Everest Base Camp to the summit through realistic decision-making scenarios. Users explore major sections such as the Khumbu Icefall and Lhotse Face using annotated visuals. Each segment explains environmental risks and logistical challenges. Decision cards guide choices about pacing, rest, and turnaround timing. The program includes a clear explanation of acclimatization schedules and why summit windows are limited. Equipment overviews explain the purpose of oxygen systems and layered clothing. Weather lessons show how jet stream patterns affect summit attempts. Audio narration supports focused learning with optional subtitles. A final planning exercise helps map a safe ascent timeline.
