Everest is composed of 3 episodes, each with multiple climbs that must be completed in order. The first episode, Iceman's Apprentice, is shareware and consists of 2 climbs. The other 2 episodes can be obtained when you register the first one. You can click on episodes you do not yet own or qualify for, and get a short description of the climb. You can maintain climbing histories for up to 5 players. Each player needs to perform the climbs in order. You can repeat climbs any number of times. When a player finishes a climb, their strength , confidence , rock and ice skills increase. These attributes help in future climbs.

========= ROUTE MAP =========

Each climb is played on the mountain itself. The possible routes are shown as thin lines, connecting a series of waypoints that indicate potential camps. As each camp is set up, the possible routes decrease. When a route is first led, it is shown as a thicker cyan colored line. Most routes require a certain amount of rope and hardware to be 'fixed' -- made safer for carrying loads. Click on the camp or goal to check the route difficulty in terms of rock and ice, and to see how much rope and hardware is still required.

========= CLIMBERS: =========

Each climber has both a strength (STR) and WILL rating. These vary among climbers and sherpas. Various assignments and results depend on current ratings, and can affect them. For example, leading a new route, decreases strength but increases will. Storms, accidents or lack of food decrease will. If STR or WILL get too low, the climber must descend. Or the ratings may go so low that they cannot even descend. If STR goes to 0, that climber dies.
