For instance, most climbers returning in May see many bare rocks with less ice now, which many say wasn\u2019t the case more than a decade ago,\u201d said Purna Sherpa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShapes of ice masses are changing faster and every year we have to search alternative options while preparing the way for the climbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article: <em><a
