In the Himalayan Mountains, an avalanche struck on Friday just above the Everest base camp."The avalanche struck a passage called the Khumbu Icefall, which is riddled with crevasses and large ice boulders that can break free without warning." 3 sherpas died, waking up early to fix a route for the climbers. 13 of their colleages have died and the search party has been called off. "It was the single deadliest accident in modern mountaineering on the world's highest peak." Nepal is cutting fees next year and will be an equal amount of guides as foreigners for safety.
this is a really unlucky event for business. It began at the beginning of the season, which will effect how many are going to come for the rest of the year. It would have been better if this happened at the end, but oh well, you cant control nature.
