With the Everest 2022 season just around the corner, it appears the Tibet side will be closed and continued uncertainty about the wisdom of climbing on the Nepal side. There are questions as to whether operators should run their programs at all. Many are moving forward but a few are not.
I discuss the situation with Adrian Ballinger, founder of Alpenglow Expeditions who has canceled his expedition from the Tibet side this spring. We also talk about his plans for a no O’s, ski descent on Makalu.
As we near the end of winter, most of the efforts across the Himalayas from Everest to K2 to Manaslu are stalled fighting heavy snow and high winds. Note, I will be covering all the action on Everest this spring on my Blog
