How long does it take to climb Mt. Everest? by Kyle

In my research I found a lot of things.  I will start with how long it takes to climb Mt. Everest.  It depends on weathering and terrain conditions.  It could take up to a week or it could take 17 days to 46 days, but most climbers take about  4 days.

I also have another question.  What supplies would you need?  You would need high altitude boots,  gaiters, a fleece zip up coat with a hood, a heed lamp with spare light bulbs and batteries.  Glacier glasses with side covers are also important.  You also need a visor, a bandana for your neck, and four different pairs of gloves.  You also need clampers to help you climb the mountain.  An alpine climbing harnes helps hopping from rock to rock.  Three locking stationary cara biners helps you stay hooked up and safe.  Flexibility rope and an ice axe are also needed. You also need a water purifier and a gps to help you know where you are.
