This specimen is a precision-cut segment of ladder rung from the Khumbu Glacier on Mount Everest, roughly 2mm thick.

Diameter, shape, and condition vary widely. Diameters range from just under 1" (2.5cm) to 1.5" (3.8cm). Some segments have significant crampon marks along the edges, while others are relatively clean. As shown, some segments have undergone tremendous stress.

The specimen comes in a classic, glass-topped riker display box measuring 4 1/2" x 3 1/2". A small information card is also included, which also serves as the certificate of authenticity.

Please Note: You should not expect to receive a perfectly round specimen. The ladder rung segments are all 2mm thick, but the diameter, shape, and condition vary widely. Diameters range from just under 1" (2.5cm) to 1.5" (3.8cm). Some segments have significant crampon marks along the edges, while others are relatively clean. As shown, some segments have undergone tremendous stress.
