Mount Everest 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 share it as a solo specimen. The rope fragment measures between 0.5-1 inch and comes in a black charm box measuring 1 3/4" x 1 1/8" x 5/8". The specimen also comes with an informational card that serves as statement of authenticity.
