Route Notes From Himalayan Times - 6 Oct 2024 The North Face Everest Ski Project architected by top American climbers has ended citing a bad weather condition as well as time constraint after the team reached above Camp III via Hornbein Couloir route in Tibet. According to sources at the base camp, a team of rope-fixing Sherpa climbers has been returning to the base camp wrapping up their plan to fix a route above Camp III. "Time is running out and the snow condition along the route was very fragile," sources told THT confirming that the team has given up from the high camp as it faced adverse weather condition along the Hornbein Couloir route.
