The age limit for climbing Mount Everest depends on the side from which you are attempting the ascent.
According to information available from May 8, 2017, there are different age restrictions based on the route taken:
- Tibet (North Side): Chinese authorities impose an age limit of 18-60 years.
- Nepal (South Side): Climbers must be a minimum of 16 years old, but there is no upper age limit.
To summarize, the following table outlines the age restrictions:
| Location | Minimum Age | Maximum Age |
|---|---|---|
| Tibet (North Side) | 18 | 60 |
| Nepal (South Side) | 16 | None |
Therefore, if you are under 18 or over 60, you are restricted from climbing Everest from the Tibet side. If you are over 60 but meet all other requirements, you can attempt to climb from the Nepal side.
