[Photo by Hiro Kuraoka IMG_4820]Megan standing in front of the Icefall in a less dangerous time [_EVE090224]Once I entered the Icefall, I wanted to get out as soon as possible, so I took very few photos. But I did take this shot during our second and last trip up. This is at the beginning, when we were lost trying to find the trail which changes frequently. [_EVE090403]Khumbu Icefall - This and the photos that follow were taken by our guide, Hiro. Most of them are of our descent. I'm wearing blue.
