Norton Couloir : ウィキペディア英語版 | Norton Couloir
The Norton Couloir or Great Couloir is a steep gorge high on the north face of Mount Everest in Tibet, China, which lies east of the pyramidal peak and extends to within 150 m below the summit. Its companion to the west of the summit is the Hornbein Couloir. == Origin of the name == The steep gorge was named after the lead member of the 1924 British expedition, Edward Felix Norton, who reached a height of about in this steep valley during an unsuccessful summit attempt on 4 June 1924. He avoided the dangerous windswept ridge and, by traversing the north face, ascended into the gorge which has since borne his name.
