Everest 2021: Summits After the Cyclone and Before the Icefall Closes

from The Podcast on alanarnette.com · host Alan Arnette

I'll talk about the last few days of this Everest 2021 season. A reported 16 people (6 members with 10 Sherpas) took a gamble and summited on Monday, May 31 at 7:00 am. They evaluated the risky avalanche conditions after feet on fresh snow and used their powerful Sherpa resources to break the trail for their clients to the top. Well done by all and congratulations on dodging the ball.  More details on the C3 situation re: avalanches. By my count: 167 members with 284 Sheras thus far, for a total of 451 summits.  In addition to the 16 people from Elite Exped who summited Monday morning, these from Pioneer Adventures (4 members, 8 Sherpas):
