Indian climbers make first Everest summit of season
Six Indian climbers reached the top of Mount Everest yesterda, the first group to summit the world's highest peak this season. The team reached the peak from the northern Tibet side of the mountain yesterday morning. The busy spring climbing season on Everest runs from late April to May when a narrow window of good weather opens allowing climbers to reach the top of the world. But so far high winds, fresh snowfall and unusually cold temperatures have forced most teams to delay their summit attempts. Nearly 750 climbers are waiting to ascend the 8,850-metre peak from the Nepal side.
