An eight-member ‘icefall doctor’ team left for Everest Base Camp to fix climbing routes up to Camp 2 led by Ang Sarki Sherpa. Icefall doctors conduct a survey of the glacier and fix ladders and ropes on the dangerous Khumbu Icefall. The ropes will be used by climbers attempting Mt Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse in Spring 2025.
