CROSSING THE KHUMBU ICEFALL | POV |PART 1
I made this POV video to take you through the journey of Khumbu Icefall.
JUST FEEL IT.
The Khumbu Icefall is a treacherous and notorious section of the Mount Everest climbing route, located in the Sagarmatha National Park of Nepal. It is considered one of the most dangerous and challenging parts of the ascent to the summit of Everest and descent to the base camp. It lies on the southern side of the mountain.
Ice Seracs: The Khumbu Icefall is a constantly shifting and tumbling mass of ice seracs, large towering blocks of ice that can be as big as buildings( upto 9 m high) These seracs are prone to collapse and can pose a significant threat to climbers passing through the area.
Glacier Movement: The icefall is part of the Khumbu Glacier, which is always in motion due to its steep gradient. The ice moves at a relatively fast pace, making the route through the icefall unpredictable and hazardous.
Crevasses: Deep crevasses (some over 45m deep) form within the glacier, hidden beneath the surface of the ice. Climbers need to navigate through a maze of these crevasses, which adds to the difficulty and danger of the passage.
Serac Falls and Avalanches: The combination of the glacier's movement, the towering seracs, and the presence of crevasses creates a high risk of serac falls and avalanches. These sudden and massive icefalls can occur without warning, making it crucial for climbers to minimize their time in the icefall.
Climbers use crampons and use ice axes and ropes to navigate the crevasses and steep ice walls. This requires technical climbing skills and experience with glacier travel.
Due to the inherent dangers of the Khumbu Icefall, climbers aim to pass through this section as quickly and efficiently as possible during their Everest ascent. However, even with the best precautions and preparations, the icefall remains an unpredictable and formidable obstacle on the journey to the top of the world's highest peak.

Wild! Very few of these first person vids exist for the KIF. TY for the upload.
Just Wow! I’ve read about it, I’ve watched videos about it…but I haven’t seen footage which captures the ice fall this close! Amazing footage, raw, clear and gives the reality of its beauty, its deadliness and the sheer effort to cross it. I’m in awe !

I would be willing to lose 50 pounds so a Sherpa can carry me to the top.
Why not just walk around
your breathing sound tell me not to go there
how is climbing an aluminium ladder mountaineering my window clearer does it every day... and take your poop home with you...
Your breathing very heavily and running out of oxygen fast...one wrong step and its death.
