Everest 2024: Icefall Misery

I’m getting reports from climbers who completed their first rotations to Camp 1 and are now back at Everest Base Camp on the Nepal side that the Icefall is quite challenging this year. Some say it takes ten hours to navigate the route to Camp 1, which has an amazing number of “zig-zags.” The number of ladders is extremely low, under five. Another team drops climbing in Tibet. And no search on Shishapangma this spring. #everest2024
