The article said — Nepal charges $25,000 per person to climb the 8,850- metre Mount Everest and $500 for a smaller peak.

That’s quite a spread in price...

I would say that this reflects supply and demand, doesn’t it?

Maybe they could build a McDonald’s on the summit.

I think it’s disgusting what they are doing to the mountain.
Bodies littering, empty oxy tanks, ropes hanging everywhere.

Heck, these millionaires are having Sherpas practically carrying them to the top.

Why not just build a pressurized tram to the top? /s
