People are going to be climbing Everest over trash heaps in the near future.

Eventually, the government is going to shut it down. They'd do it now if not for the money it brings in. The whole place is trashed.

Out of morbid curiosity, I wonder if the avalanche brought down any of the countless bodies of climbers that have been left frozen on Everest for decades.

You base that claim on what exactly? Tourism brings in about 40% of Nepal's revenue and since Nepal is so poor, it is vital to the country. I do not see the govt shutting down Everest any time soon. (ever)

I’t be a miracle if the avalance didn’t bring down a mess of trash with it. At least to an elevation where it’s easier to collect.

Climbers are now required by law to bring down with them an X amount of trash back with them so that eventually it’d be cleaned up.

They should shut it down already and only allow scientists to go up MT. Everest for relevant research.
