More than a hundred climbers and support staff crossed the icefall route on Mt Everest this morning as they began acclimatisation rotations and ferrying loads to Camp II.
The joint team of icefall doctors and expedition operators has completed route fixing all the way to Camp II on Mt. Everest, clearing the final obstacle in a season-opening effort that had kept hundreds of climbers waiting at Base Camp for the better part of two weeks.
The Khumbu Icefall route on Mt. Everest has been opened after days of mounting tension at Base Camp, with a joint team of 13 mountain guides from the Expedition Operators Association of Nepal (EOAN) and eight icefall doctors from the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC) reaching Camp I on Tuesday morning.
