**The Story**

CBC News

In our previous episodes, Alex told us that on the morning of April 25^th, 2015 his team had set out into the Kumbu Icefall for a few days of acclimatizing. Alex was near the top of the icefall when the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck.

This set off hundreds of avalanches around the country including several on and around Mt. Everest. Listen to Alex describing the avalanche that was coming at him near camp 1.

**Ep 002: Avalanche on Everest Part 2** Apr 04, 2016
Show notes

On the Nepal side of Mt Everest, just above basecamp at (17,600ft) on the South Col Route lies the Khumbu glacier. At the head of this massive field of ice is an area known as the Khumbu Icefall. Often regarded as one of the most dangerous parts of the Southeast route this waterfall of giant blocks of ice (some as big as buses or even houses) is constantly moving. And surrounding these gigantic shifting blocks of ice are seracs and crevases that go down hundreds of feet into the glacier.

We pick up Alex’s story after the 2014 Avalanche in the Khumbu Icefall that killed 16 Sherpas.
