Avalanche section on Khan tengri's southern route

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Avalanche section between camp 1 and 2. Khan Tengri's neighbour Chapayeva is renowned for its avalanche risk and as recently as 2004 40 people were killed by one. Best advise is not to move between camp 1 and 2, or vice versa, 24 hours after snow has fallen.
