Comments
Wind slab avalanche triggered remotely on the bowl at the start of Everest ridge while 3 mountaineers were coming down. No one was caught or carried but it is a reminder to everyone to have their guard up. It was a completely green day but green does not mean safe it means low danger! Avalanches can still happen.
