This video does a good job explaining the acclimatization profile for Mt. Everest. The guiding company I’m using (International Mountain Guides) does one thing different. Rather than go up through the ice fall, staying at camp 1 for a night or two, then coming back down, we go just down the valley and spend a few days climbing Lobuche (~20,000′). Everything else is roughly the same.
