North Face (Everest)

The North Face of Mount Everest is the northern aspect of the highest mountain in the world. It can partly be seen from North Base Camp. George Mallory's body was found on the North Face during the 1999 Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition. Major features of the face are the Hornbein Couloir and the Norton Couloir. Notable on the left end, the northeast ridge of Everest, are the Three Steps and the Three Pinnacles.
