I wonder how much, if at all, the quake affected the traditional route to the summit? Would be some shite if it's no longer accessible to climbers. The last guy to make it to the top would have an instant claim to fame.




Read in an article yesterday that climbers that have already started the climb are stranded in some partsbecause the path the the Sherpas spent making the last few months have been taking out Avalanche.

It's the path down to be clear. No one is trying to advance on the mountain. Climbers tried to get down from Camp 1 yesterday but the aftershocks (up to 6.7) were so severe they had to retreat back up to Camp 1.
