Chinese surveying team heads for Mount Qomolangma summit

A Chinese surveying team is expected to reach the summit of Mount Qomolangma between 10 am and 11 am Wednesday, sources at the base camp said.

An eight-member Chinese surveying team ascended through the "second step" on their way to the summit of Mt. Qomolangma, the world's highest peak, on Wednesday morning.

At a height of 8,600 meters, the "second step" is an almost vertical wall of several meters high and extremely difficult to climb.
