Everest Camp- II Khumbu icefall Expedition 2023
The journey to #Mount #Everest #Camp II from Base Camp involves passing through the treacherous #Khumbu #Icefall, which is considered one of the most challenging sections of the climb.
The Khumbu Icefall is a constantly shifting, crevassed glacier that must be navigated with the help of ladders, fixed ropes, and other equipment. Climbers must be prepared for unpredictable ice and weather conditions, as well as the risk of avalanches and ice falls.
From Base Camp, climbers ascend to Camp I (6,065m) and then continue up to Camp II (6,400m), which is located on the Western Cwm, a broad, flat glacial valley. The journey from Base Camp to Camp II typically takes around 3-4 days, depending on weather and acclimatization.
Climbers must carefully manage their energy and hydration levels, as well as monitor their oxygen saturation and altitude sickness symptoms, in order to successfully reach Camp II and continue on towards the summit of Mount #Everest.
