Three Steps are three rocky steps that stand out on the northeast ridge of Mount Everest. They are at an altitude of 8,564 meters (28,097 feet), 8,610 meters (28,250 feet), and 8,710 meters (28,580 feet). Second Step is significant both historically and in mountain climbing terms. Any climber who wants to climb on a normal route from the north of the summit should negotiate these three stages.
The First Step consists of large boulders that pose a serious obstacle, even for experienced climbers, because of their altitude above sea level. Many mountain climbers die in First Step, among them "Green Boots", corpses wearing neon green boots and red coats, which serve as a landmark for climbers to measure their distance upward, which may now have been identified. as Tsewang Paljor. His fellow climbers, who were also killed on the same day he was in 1996, were Tsewang Smanla and Dorje Morup. Other climbers also died under the rock, namely David Sharp and Francys Arsentiev.
Step Two is the most famous of the rocky steps. The steep section, at an altitude of <>> 8,610 m , has a climbing height of 40 meters, where the last five are almost vertical. This move rose for the first time in 1960, by Wang Fuzhou, Gongbu and Qu Yinhua, while their team mate, Liu Lianman, volunteered to become a human ladder. The difficulty of climbing this place was reduced in 1975 when the Chinese team stuck the aluminum ladder into a step that has been used ever since by almost all climbers. In 2007, due to safety considerations, the original 15 foot (4.6 m) steps were replaced with new ones by Chinese and international mountain climbers. The original stairs are now on display at the Qomolangma Mountain Museum in Tibet.
The third step is the easiest to climb. The height of the climb is about 10 meters, after which the snow peak is reached.

Important climb from Step Two
The 1921 British peacetime surveillance expedition was the first to attempt to climb Mount Everest. This was followed by further British expeditions in 1922, 1924, and 1933. Climbers had to make the ascent from the north, since Nepal was closed. The situation became reversed after the Chinese invasion of Tibet; the expedition that was launched thereafter had to use the southern approach through Nepal. Technical difficulties, especially in climbing Step Two, are still unknown. There was an ongoing discussion as to whether Step Two had been overcome by George Mallory and Andrew Irvine in 1924. It was overcome in 1960 as part of the first ascent of Mount Everest via the northern route, when a standing shoulder was used to climb the last five meters.
This move was first advanced without help in 1985, by the Spaniard ÃÆ''scar Cadiach. He rated the last stone face as 5.7 to 5.8 (V in the UIAA classification). Theo Fritsche, an Austrian, stepped in 2001 with free on-sight and came to the same conclusion. Conrad Anker climbed Step Two in 1999 and assessed his difficulty as 5.10. On this ascent Anker supports himself using the Chinese ladder. In 2007, Anker repeated his ascent with Leo Houlding; This time, however, he first removed the ladder to climb the steps without help.
