Conquer Everest (1975)

The box says, "An exciting board game with unique 3-D mountain for 2-4 players age 8-80."

Players roll the die, moving along squares on the board that contain resources: ice equipment, tents, oxygen, ropes, and sponsorship. Once you believe you've accumulated enough equipment, you use your dice rolls to move to an airport.

The airport takes you to different track on the board (Nepal), where you roll the die, seeking to land on spaces where you can get Sherpas, but hopefully not spaces where you lose equipment. Once you're satisfied that you have enough equipment and Sherpas, you then begin ascending the mountain (a big colorful cardboard pyramid).

As you roll the die, you advance your climber, who hangs from "peg size" holes in the mountain using his ice pick. There are many hazards along along the way up, so depending upon the die roll, you could lose the equipment you need to make it to the top. First one to the summit wins!
