Deadly Everest Icefall

Just lost a fellow countryman of mine on the icefall on Everest Norh Col. Chunks of ice breaking off at 7000 meters – this kind of stuff is unpredictable on routes like Everest’s North Col. Nothing you can do about them, other than avoiding routes with high objective danger. It’s a sad, sad day, a huge loss for the climbing community. Konyi leaves behind a wife, 2 daughters and a beautiful life of 54 years.
