⚠️ Danger Zones

High-Risk Areas

  • Camp 2 → Camp 3 Ridge: Steep ice, narrow passage, 1,000ft drop-offs on both sides. Fatal falls common.
  • Snow Plains (all altitudes): Hidden crevasses. Walk only — never sprint.
  • Camp 3 Exposed Section: 400m with no shelter. If blizzard hits here, survival is uncertain.
  • Camp 4 → Summit Final Push: Technical rope sections, extreme wind exposure.
