How Virtual Reality Prepares You for the Real Thing
Can't afford the $50,000 permit? VR experiences like 'Everest VR' allow you to cross the Ladder and stand on the summit. It’s a great training tool for your future Mount Everest expedition.
Athletes use visualization. Seeing the route in VR helps your brain prepare for the exposure. You can look down the Lhotse Face without the risk.
Photos don't show depth. VR shows just how massive the Khumbu Icefall is. It gives you a healthy respect for the challenge of Everest trekking.
Show your family what you are training for. It helps them understand why you want to go to the Mount Everest summit.
It’s not the real thing, but it’s the next best thing.
