For green hands:
If you join a commercial climbing team from the very beginning to the very end, your personal warming and technical equipment usually cost you 20,000 yuan RMB (2,928 U.S. dollars).
For veteran climbers:
Climbing peaks towering between 6,000 m and 7,000 m will cost you 7,000 yuan RMB (1,024 dollars), while the cost for climbing mountains between 7,000 m and 8,000 m is 15,000 yuan RMB (2,196 dollars).
Mountaineering costs for peaks above 8,000 m vary according to these mountains' own conditions. In general, the costs for ascending the three peaks, namely, the Mt. Cho Oyu, Mt. Xixabangba and Mt. Qomolangma, are 80,000 yuan RMB (11,713 dollars), 90,000 yuan RMB (13,177 dollars), and 220,000 yuan RMB (32,210 dollars), respectively.
If a newcomer wants to climb the Mt. Qomolangma after conquering a peak above 6,000 m and one above 7,000 m, the total cost stands at 300,000 yuan RMB (48,316 dollars).
Currently, most of such climbing lovers and travelers choose to seek for some sponsors for their expedition.
