Everest climbs canceled
Print Edition
CHINA yesterday canceled all spring climbs on the north face of Mount Everest, following the deadly avalanche triggered by the earthquake in neighboring Nepal.
More than 400 climbers have descended to safety in Tibet since Saturday’s quake.
Climbers stranded for two days at high altitudes on the Nepalese side of the mountain were rescued by helicopters yesterday.
Rescue teams in three helicopters were running missions to Camps One and Two following the avalanche that killed 18 people further down the mountain at base camp.
The 150-odd stranded climbers rescued in Nepal, who were not thought to be seriously injured, had their land route down the mountain blocked by slabs of ice and snow brought down in the avalanche.
Nepal has not yet decided whether to halt expeditions on its side of the mountain..
