Have you ever wondered what it is like in the ice fall that leads into the Western Cwm on Everest?
I had seen pictures of the ice fall when I was growing up and imagined what it was like many times before I first saw it.
When I first saw it and climbed it the ice fall was very different than I had imagined it to be. The scale was so much larger, the route was so much more confusing and the seracs were so beautiful and scary at the same time.
Here is a link to a fantastic You-Tube video by Theodore Fairhurst that does a great job of showing you what its like in the ice fall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moBJMGNSql4
