Did the Hillary Step collapse on Mount Everest? As the earth trembled and the earth literally shook, a secret unfolded atop the world's highest peak. The following year as climbers made their way to the summit they noticed that something was drastically different. But, for some reason the Nepali government wanted to keep it veiled in secrecy. The famous Hillary Step was no more.

What happened to Mount Everest's most iconic feature, the Hillary Step? The Hillary Step is located 200 feet below Everest’s summit, and was fundamentally altered by the 2015 earthquake that shook the mountain and claimed 18 lives on the mountain. In this video we consider the Nepal Ministry of Tourism's claims that the Hillary Step had not in fact been altered, and compare before and after photographs taken by guides and climbers in the years leading up to the earthquake of 2015 and the years immediately following.
