Mt. Everest summit human traffic jam

I ran across this piece of information the other day:

from the Nepal side, base camp to the summit is 12.5 mile hike.

from the Tibet side, base camp to the summit is a 22 mile hike.

I don’t think you summit from base camp.

Most (pretty much all) summit attempts involve multiple acclimitization trips to get the body ready for the death zone. So you are climbing and reclimbing the same sections multiple times.
