With the start of spring, the main season of mountain climbing, the team of "Icefall Doctor" has left for the base camp to prepare a way to climb Mount Everest. The Everest Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), which is in charge of building the road, has sent a team to the Everest Base Camp to construct and maintain the Khumbu Icefall Road.
SPCC President Lamakaji Sherpa said that an experienced route-making team has been sent from Namche Bazar to the base camp with supplies for mountain climbing. The team includes 8 'Icefall Doctors' including base camp manager Chiring Tenzing Sherpa.
Two teams are led by Angsarki Sherpa and Dawazangbu Sherpa. The team consists of Daba Nuru Sherpa, Nim Tenji Sherpa, Mingma Galzen Sherpa, Daba Chiri Sherpa, Lakpa Sona Sherpa and Tendu Sherpa . Since 1997, the Department of Tourism under the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation has been giving the committee the responsibility of constructing and maintaining the climbing route of the Khumbu Icefall.
The team begins the work of making the road only by praying and worshiping the mountain according to the Buddhist tradition . "After looking at the lama, the work of making the road starts," said Sherpa, the president. Road construction in the mountains is considered very risky. Their team works to rope up to the second base camp and put ladders in difficult places . In the same way, climbers climb with ease . According to SCCC, it will take 20 days to build the road to the second base camp of Everest.
The Everest Pollution Control Committee has been doing road construction and cleaning in the Everest region. For doing this work, the committee has been taking 600 US dollars from every foreign citizen who joins the climbing team. "We do all the work of road construction and cleaning," said Sherpa, the president, "We have done all the work under the agreement with the Ministry of Tourism, and this fee is the main source of our income." SPCC has been working on environmental protection in the base camp area in addition to checking the permission of the climbing team.
