A few months ago I read a story about the insanity that is Himalayan mountain climbing. Expedition companies line up clients to try and get them to the top of a mountain like Everest. The photo shown is what happens when you try to get a hundred people to the top. There are logjams when climbers are waiting for their five minutes at the top. It isn’t any wonder that there are accidents just waiting to happen.

Clients, some off them untrained in climbing, are paying tens of thousands of dollars to say they got to the top. The government of Nepal are whores for money and don’t really care about safety factors. You will see more and more of these mountaineering accidents until changes are made.

 

Indeed!

 

Good book that talks about all that


another good one

 

Easy reads. Thin Air is sort of the benchmark and it talks about tourism, garbage, traffic jams. Sagarmartha is probably grateful for covid.

Bear's story was very interesting. He broke his back in a military parachute accident and climbed the mountain as part of his recovery.

 

Some days, I swear that preparing dinner can be such a pain!



Cheers.
