Terrifying Footage of Everest Cornice Acciden

The article describes a tragic incident on Mount Everest on May 21, when a snow cornice collapsed due to the weight of hundreds of climbers, causing several to fall. IFMGA guide Vinayak Malla captured the lead-up and aftermath on video, showcasing the chaos and overcrowding on the summit ridge. Malla's account reveals the dangers posed by soft snow, numerous cornices, and heavy traffic on the descent.

During their descent, Malla and his clients witnessed a cornice collapse just meters ahead, which fortunately did not involve them. The collapse led to four climbers nearly falling to their deaths, but they managed to self-rescue by clinging to fixed ropes. Sadly, two climbers remain missing. Malla then took action to break a new route, alleviating the congestion and potentially saving lives.

The situation drew comparisons to other mountain accidents, such as a 2021 incident on Broad Peak. On the same day, another climber, Binod Babu Bastakoti, died above Camp 4 due to illness while descending from the summit.
