A Dream to Reality: Climbing Mount Everest. Khumbu icefall: The melting of the ice means the Khumbu glacier moves relatively quickly down the mountain - around three to four feet every day. This means large crevasses can open with little to no warning, while frozen towers can fall at any moment, sending large blocks of ice tumbling down onto the route. For this reason, climbers usually brave the passage early in the morning, when the freezing overnight temperatures mean the ice is less prone to moving. The route is fixed by ladders and ropes every year by experienced climbing guides, to ease the way for the hundreds of tourists and climbers who want to try to reach Everest's summit each year.
