Everest 2024: Weekend Update April 14
Release Date:
Welcome to the Everest 2024 Weekend Update in mid-April. This week's headlines are a bit concerning.
The fixed line that should already be at Camp 2 is only halfway through the Icefall. I'm not sure this is bad news for climbers, but Everest permits lag significantly from 2023, down 34%.
However, we saw the first 8000er summits this past week, with many more to come. Base Camp at Everest is filling up. Trekkers are on the move, and mountains are seeing summits. Hello, spring 2024. #everest2024
Climb On!
