When we say “Everest is crowded,” this is what we mean
(Excerpt) Read more at outsideonline.com ...
I read “Into Thin Air” many years ago, and even back then the trek organizers couldn’t even organize among themselves to prevent this kind of thing, and it was nothing like this.
They should just install an escalator.
a Red Ryder BB Gun.
“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”
Google Everest images and see dead, frozen bodies all over the place. What a grim holiday spot.
Everybody Mambo!!!
Democrats should build an escalator for them.
Could do the same plucking thing going to Disney World to get on Space Mountain, and keep all my toes.

Haha! There should be a sign on the top that says “DMV”.
Chilkoot Pass. Except that went on for months.

What a grim holiday spot.
I spent many years climbing rock and ice.
Once in a while, the planets would align...
And you would run into something like this at the local crags.
Simply hike on down the way, find a less popular climb.
That said, many have come to dislike the internet for popularizing your favorite 5.10 crack with some good protection.
Happens.
On a positive note, there are the Sherpas who are investing in themselves with IFMGA/UIAGM certifications and then deserving an almost double salary increase to $8,000 for their two month’s work on Everest, similar to what foreign mountains guide may earn. Oh, and one more area of interest is the emergence of ultra high-priced expeditions with all the luxuries of a first class seat or suite on a flight or cruise ship.
So, how much does it cost to climb Mount Everest? As I’ve said for years, the short answer is a car or at least $30,000 but most people pay about $45,000 and some as high as $130,000!
Here we go with a long and detailed look at 2019. As always, if you see a mistake or want to add something, please let me know.
What does “popularizing your favorite 5.10 crack” mean?
Not one African on the list?
Is that legal?
Not even so much as a lost trekker?
Can’t do it. At altitude
their lips explode.
$30K + to spend on a guided tour where you have to wait in line........LOL!
