The deadlock in the dangerous Khumbu Icefall area, used for climbing the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, has ended. The route, which was blocked for two weeks, was reopened on Tuesday morning.
According to Rishi Bhandari, general secretary of the Expedition Operators Association of Nepal, an umbrella organization for mountaineering professionals, the construction work on the route has been accelerated again with the removal of the obstruction. 'The Khumbu Icefall route, which was blocked for two weeks, has been opened this morning,' he told Kantipur. 'A team of icefall doctors will reach Camp-2 by this evening.'

Aerial reconnaissance (reconnaissance) was carried out by helicopter last Friday and Saturday to open the route. Helicopters from Heli Everest and Prabhu Helicopters were used for this.
According to Bhandari, after the joint efforts of icefall doctors, high altitude guides, Sherpas and foreign climbers, the route to Camp-1, which is at an altitude of about 6,000 meters, has been opened.
