"The route above the base camp has been destroyed by the avalanche..."
The climbers and Sherpas who were attempting to summit from

But in Nepal, Gautam said, "the time for the expedition teams can be extended to June if necessary.

Several Sherpa guides are willing to go back to work if the expeditions resume. <snip>
