Mount Everest

[Wahesh]

It’s been a very bad season on Mount Everest so far. 11 people have been confirmed dead and more are feared injured including a Sydney woman. This is one of the worst seasons that I can recall for deaths. It’s a combination of avalanches and human traffic jams that are causing it. I don’t know what it’s like up there, but I think people should swallow their pride and listen to their bodies and turn back if they feel that they are at breaking point.

As well as that, I believe that if people want approval to climb the summit, they have to be put through vigorous physicals in order to receive clearance (I’m not sure if this is a requirement so far).

You could not pay me to do this. Hardest part would be climbing up with all that traffic, honestly!

They should ban this like music festivals. More people have died this year doing this than shelving pingers in their bumholes this year tbh.

Fuck.. is that's a legit photo of the traffic, is it any wonder it's falling apart.

There are pretty strict rules and regulations around climbing Everest by the Nepalese government (to the point there is an actual Mountain Climbing Regulaton in their Tourism Act). It includes having experience in high altitude climbs, age, weight, and mobility restrictions, but some reckon it's still not enough.

Also I don't think it's heavily enforced.

Nepal could limit the number of climbers per year but it's a catch 22 given they rely on tourism heavily with Everest the drawcard.

It's taken all the mystique out of the climb, soon there will be a McDonalds and Starbucks at the summit.

they cant turn back when they are feeling the effects, its summit fever time

According to revisionists of certain definitions, Terrorism is anything that kills. My Everest is a terrorist and since it’s white at the peak it is therefore a white Christian supremacist the most rampant of terrorists.
