IMG Update: Preparing for the Icefall and Lobuche Peak

Today saw several IMG team members making initial forays into the Icefall. Ed Wardell and Jamie Berry of the Discovery film team went up with the Icefall doctors to shoot the installation of some of the ladders. The Icefall route is now established through the “popcorn” section and up to the “football field”. It will take another couple days of work to build the route up the final steep pitches of the Icefall. [More at IMG]
