STRAFE COMMERCIAL INSTALL
“We will install more equipment this year, but it won’t be enough for a commercial expedition,” said Batard.īatard has the support of the French embassy in Kathmandu which has been lobbying the Nepal Government to install permanent equipment along his new route. For a full-scale commercial expedition, he estimated that up to 500,000 Euros worth of equipment would be necessary. Batard later named this peak Sundare dada, after a late friend.īatard said that his team was only using a limited amount of rope-fixing equipment due to the small team size and a lack of adequate resources. The team plans to first climb Nuptse and then summit Everest via the new route.ĭuring an exploratory trip in November, his team summited an unnamed 5,880 meter peak via the new route. A few other European climbers are expected to join him, but exact details are unknown. His team includes his own son Alan as well as his climbing partner Pasang Nuru Sherpa, and his son Tenji. In his experience, climbing Everest from the Nepal side is becoming riskier each year as climate change continues to destabilize the mountain.īatard has eschewed the traditional Basecamp, and has set up his expedition near the Sherpa settlement of Gorak Shep. This year he also intends to summit without bottled oxygen, making him the oldest person in history to do so. What sets Batard’s route aside is that climbers can bypass the deadly Khumbu Icefall.īatard happens to be one of the persons to climb Everest solo and without use of bottled oxygen. The proposed route lies beneath the rocky spurs of Mount Nuptse that lie to the east of the towering southeast ridge that has been home to the heavily trafficked commercial for several decades. But it will save many lives,” he told the Everest Chronicle. “This new route might take some time and a lot of equipment before coming to commercial operation. This season, Batard is preparing to lead the first group of climbers to the summit via an entirely new route that he admits is yet to be fully explored. This French Everest legend is convinced that he knows a better way. Unless you believe 70-year old climbing guide, Marc Batard. Since the first expedition, the stretch has claimed at least 40 lives including 16 Sherpas in 2014, according to the Himalayan Database.Įvery year, the famed “Icefall Doctors” set fixed ropes and ladders through the labyrinth that leads up to Camp I simply because there are no other options.
More climbers have died here than anywhere else on the mountain, mainly from collapsing seracs that frequently strafe the exposed route with ice boulders that can weigh multiple tons. Even the most seasoned Everest guides dread the crevasse-strewn Khumbu Icefall which acts as a deadly gatekeeper for the rest of the mountain.
