The mountain is covered in unrecoverable corpses, trash and literal human shit, it’s deadly, it’s freezing cold, there’s almost no oxygen, and there’s a line to get to the peak once you get there. The only reason to keep this nonsense up is that it gives the Sherpas money they would otherwise not have and they’re poor enough as it is.
Seriously though, why bother even if you love mountain climbing? Sure, it’s the highest point on the planet, but wouldn’t you rather climb something more pristine?

don‘t give them any ideas. Better they continue climbing that trash heap
I’m sure there’s some mountain somewhere that isn’t considered incredibly sacred that they could cover in corpses and human shit.
I‘d voluntarily offer one of our also fucked up Bavarian mountains.
