The mountaineers, who are scaling the world's tallest mountain to survey its natural resources, height and monitor potential impacts of climate change, are scheduled to reach the peak on May 22.
A Chinese government team currently conducting a scientific project on Mount Everest is expected to reach the summit within the next week.
A climb to an altitude of 7,028 meters was halted on May 9 due to risks of snow slides, with the team returning back to a camp at an altitude of 6,500 meters on the legendary mountain—located on the border between Nepal and Tibet. The mission on Everest, known in China as Mount Qomolangma, launched on April 30 and contains experts from the government's Ministry of Natural Resources.
