That is cool. Did you see all of the tents along the lefthand side of the large glacier? There must be hundreds of climbers staging there.
Actually there aren't, look closely at the entire panorama and you will only see a few people.
Most of that stuff has been left behind by previous climbers. Everest has become a literal junk yard and there have been several excursions up there by groups who have been attempting to clean it up.......
Want to climb Everest yourself? There are now dozens of outfitters available to take you up the established "tourist" route which has become the destination of choice for thrill seekers who have the $30K to spend..........
Don't know how to climb? You can sign up for a special package that will give you an additional few days of instruction before your group heads up.
This isn't Sir Edmund Hillary's Everest any more........
Did you see the one lone guy on the ridge? Left of the summit on a snow field?
Missed that the first time. You can see dozens and dozens of people milling about.
I am a bit of an Everest nut so this is a playground for me :-)
At first glance I thought those tents were pieces of trash. Amazing photo.
