The sedimentary sandstone rock of the Yellow Band is a distinctive feature of the Lhotse Face which requires about 100 meters of rope to traverse it. This is the first rock a climber touches on the route up Everest. It becomes very obvious when one has reached this point in the climb-one's crampons hit hard rock. The top of the yellow band is at 25,000 feet.Did this help any? Sorry if it didn't - Alicia C.Santiago

The yellow band on Mount Everest is a distinct layer of limestone that appears between 8,500 and 9,000 meters (27,887 and 29,528 feet) on the southeast ridge route. It is named for its yellowish color and is known as a challenging section for climbers due to the steepness and loose rock in the area.
