Changtse is sometimes called the 'North Summit of Everest' allthough they are separated by the deep North Col saddle.

From North Col, Changtse rises almost 600m and thus by distance qualifies as a separate mountain. It can be climbed from the North but also directly from the North Col of Everest. The final part of the climbing is steep on partly rotten rock.

But when you get there the view of Everest is completely awesome.
