Nepal: Mount Everest ice block obstructs large group of spring climbers
A large, unstable glacial serac above Mount Everest's Khumbu Icefall is blocking the summit route during the 2026 spring climbing season, when Nepal has issued 410 tourist permits—close to the 2023 record of 479. Around 1,000 climbers and support staff are waiting at safer altitudes as experts monitor the serac, which poses a deadly avalanche risk, and consider alternative plans to minimize delays and avoid amplifying overcrowding-related hazards like route congestion.
