C4 (Camp IV)

Camp IV (C4) is a high-altitude base camp on Mount Everest, typically situated around 7,950 meters (26,085 feet) above sea level. It serves as a critical staging area where climbers rest, acclimate, and prepare for the final, most challenging Summit Push to the Everest summit. Due to extreme altitude and weather, conditions are harsh, and climbers need careful planning and physical resilience. C4 is often the last camp before attempting the ascent, making it a vital point in the expedition, balancing rest and readiness before the final climb to reach the world's highest point.
