"The northeastern face is not visible from the Kaamo Tsangpo Valley of the eastern face, or from Base Camp, in front of the north face," Dong said.

In 1921, Mallory and his fellow explorers passed through the Kharta Valley. From there, they could not reach the summit but they confirmed the first route to the top, which is still used by climbers today.
