The Hillary Step is a perpendicular upright mass of rock that is around forty feet in height. To reach it you must climb the South East Ridge route from the Nepal side of Mount Everest. The Hillary Step lies at approx 28,840 feet above the sea level, between the South summit and the true summit. It is the last major obstacle before reaching the top of the world.
