Couch Kitties: Everest-less...
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/26/.....st-deaths.html
NEW DELHI — Ed Dohring, a doctor from Arizona, had dreamed his whole life of reaching the top of Mount Everest. But when he summited a few days ago, he was shocked by what he saw.
Climbers were pushing and shoving to take selfies. The flat part of the summit, which he estimated at about the size of two Ping-Pong tables, was packed with 15 or 20 people. To get up there, he had to wait hours in a line, chest to chest, one puffy jacket after the next, on an icy, rocky ridge with a several-thousand foot drop.
He even had to step around the body of a woman who had just died.
“It was scary,” he said by telephone from Kathmandu, Nepal, where he was resting in a hotel room. “It was like a zoo.”
Some people really WILL do anything for a Klondike Bar...

along with i forget how many tons of garbage, i seem to recall having read somewhere recently, and four dead bodies.
i was skeptical at the mention of human traffic jams, but seeing is sort of believing.
i guess this is why nepal doesn't want to let visitors stay for more then a couple of weeks.
(yet more confirmation for my suspicion that world population figures have been low balled for decades)
might as well build and aerial tramway. no such thing as unspoiled nature with that many tromping feet.
