It no longer represents a significant technical challenge, mountaineering in its true sense. It’s a high altitude dangerous trek to a mountain summit. It happens to be the highest peak, but it’s not the true peak of mountaineering challenges. Sad…….i feel for the country and the environment
There are two main unconquered routes on Mount Everest. Those routes are the direct route up the East Face and the Fantasy Ridge, also known as the East Ridge: East Face A direct climb up this avalanche-prone face is considered extremely dangerous. Fantasy Ridge This route involves climbing a narrow ridge with double cornices, through the Pinnacles, and to the Northeast Ridge. It's considered one of the finest lines on any 8,000 meter peak but it's also very dangerous and high. Other challenging routes on Everest include: Southwest Face. A direct climb up this face is considered extremely difficult. North pillar on the East Face. This route is considered extremely difficult. Northeast Ridge. This route was once considered unconquerable. Do not think that there are no challenges left there. The tourists take the path of least resistance but that will never tame the mountain. The mountain will never be tamed. Look up the Stollenloch on the Eiger. The Eigerwand climb is “only” 4,500 meters. Go try to climb that wall when the weather goes bad and tell me how there’s no challenge left. “Anyone who returns from the Eigerwand cannot but realize that he has done something more than a virtuoso climb: he has lived through a human experience to which he had committed not only all his skill, intelligence and strength… but his very existence.” -Lionel Terray Or, you can just take the electric train inside the mountain to the top of the Eiger. People have been doing that longer than they have been successfully climbing the Eigerwand.
"If you have a high-way on Everest, you don't meet the mountain. If everything is prepared, and you have a guide who is responsible for your security, you cannot meet the mountain. Meeting mountains is only possible if you . . . are out there in self-sufficiency." Reinhold Messner
Its absolutely nuts. If people can carry all their $ up that mountain to dump it off as they go, then they can carry all their $ back down as they go. Holy Crap! I never knew about the garbage problem! That makes me so mad.
Amazing to me that people will climb up Everest to wait in a god damn line. I wouldn't wait in a line to buy a cup of coffee. I cannot believe this circus is appealing to people.
How can Everest be overcrowded when the climbing season is so short? 10 or 11 months of the year no one is on the mountain. Nice to see the cliche of climate change being used, yawn.
Let's be brave enough to not climb Mt. Everest!
great mountain🙏🙏🙏

I'm so chuffed for the sherpas ( bow down) for the drones, making things a tad safer for them . 💯❤

Horrible waste on this breathtaking mountain 😅
The mountain is melting.
It’s a rock!

The over crowding is obscene.

Highest altitude trash dump and graveyard!
