these will absolutely work for the standard routes on everest...go with the new-matic (toe strap/heel bail) binding system. just be sure to prep your overboots so they stay secure (prior to your trip attach your overboot to your boot, strap on the G12's tight...let them sit for a while...a week or two even...some will even then put them in the freezer as the insulation can change with temps). what this does is creates perm grooves for he heel binding giving you a secure fit.good luck!!!
