    That is stunning! Which peak is the actual summit? I found the base camps, but you say you can actually see a group ascending the mountain??

    I saw two groups. If you use the .jpg arrow image they're just below the tip of the arrow on a relatively flat piece of terrain.

    so actually the one in the rear could it be as well?
    i'd guess the left one, but that's not really clear...

    It looks like the base camp area has about 1,000 people or so. With that many people around I guess you have to wait your turn to make a climb attempt. A bit pricey at around $40K or so per head.

    Here is what appears to be two camp areas about two thirds of the way up. If you look at the orange dots, to the left you'll see what appears to be climbers.
