The ladders in he icefall are set up as a joint effort by the groups and are maintained daily as the icefall moves. There is one spot I believe toward the summit that has a ladder that has been there for years...things dont rust or degrade much at those altitudes.
The high ropes are strung by the first party to summit each season
