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
