How To Climb Mt. Everest

While I have no desire (or money) to climb Mt. Everest, here is the preferred schedule for acclimatizing on Everest (according to mounteverest.net):

Trek to BC 10 days (Base Camp)
Arrival BC April 1

Climbing C1 April 7 (Camp 1)
Back to BC April 8
Climbing C2 April 11
Back to BC April 13
Climbing C2 April 17
Climbing C3 April 19
Back to BC April 20

Trekking down April 21
Back to BC April 26

1st summit attempt May 1-7
Trekking down May 7-12
Back in BC May 13
Last summit attempts May 16-30

This schedule requires a minimum of 6 weeks to attempt. With Heroes just getting good again, I simply don't have the time.
