Sagarmāthā Climbing Rope
Mount Everest (Nepali: Sagarmāthā सगरमाथा; Tibetan: Chomolungma ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ; Chinese: Zhumulangma 珠穆朗玛) is the tallest mountain in the world, its peak resting at 29,029 feet above sea level, on the border of Nepal and China. Hundreds of mountaineers climb the mountain each year, facing altitude sickness, treacherous icefalls, and bone-chilling temperatures.
This specimen is a sample of climbing rope retrieved during a cleanup effort on Mount Everest. It first appeared as a specimen in the Fifth Edition Mini Museum and we're very excited to debut it as a solo specimen. It comes in a classic, glass-topped riker display box measuring 4 1/2" x 3 1/2". A small information card is included, which also serves as the certificate of authenticity.
