The group had their first crack at the Khumbu Icefall today, just a training run- over half way up. Dave said it was not what he expected, less horizontal ladders than expected and actually really fun. I've heard it described as an adventure lovers ultimate obstacle course.
This is an a FB post from Larry today:
First trip up the icefall - check! Super fun. Everyone is down safe and did great.
Tomorrow (sidenote, they decided to actually take a rest day tomorrow and begin the next rotation on Monday) we commit to the upper mountain for a few days, hoping to spend a night at C1, night at C2 and at least touch the altitude of C3.
Climb On!
