The serac departure is visible on the Everest west face.

For this year, perhaps change for some climbers, but I doubt it'll change much for the long term. People will pay more attention to the hanging glaciers, may be some talk of avalanche control, Sherpa life insurance, a different route, etc; but climbers climb mountains knowing it is risky. Walking thru a bad neighborhood after dark is risky - but people still do it. Life is risky - you ARE going to die.

Are you unhappy that climbers are allowed to continue climbing the mountain?
