All clear on Everest: a route opened through the Icefall to Camp 1
A team of 21 Sherpas has finished equipping, this morning, a route through the Khumbu Icefall to Everest Camp 1 which, according to news from Nepal, avoids exposing expedition members to the serac. In this way, the more than 400 people from all over the world, and a similar number of Sherpas, could begin acclimatization rounds in the coming days, ascending to the high camps as they are set up. The news has been received as a balm by the companies and their clients, after days of tension and nervousness due to the threat of the unstable ice mass, in the middle of high season.
