Khumbu Icefall Route construction
Under the umbrella of SPCC, the ICEFALL DOCTORS construct the route on Khumbu Icefall. Khumbu ICEFALL is an extremely dangerous and fragile terrain between Everest Base Camp (5365m) and Camp 1 (5900m) filled with deep crevasses and leaning blocks of ice. The route collapses frequently and a new route has to be built in those sections. SPCC annually fixes the ropes and ladders on KHUMBU ICEFALL.
