The most dangerous section of Mount Everest is climbing through the Khumbu Icefall. Here there are blocks of ice the size of a house waiting to fall down. A crevasse can be as deep as the length of a football pitch and as wide as a house or ten feet deep and 4 foot wide, whatever the size it can be deadly.
