I have read that Mt. Everest is the most polluted mountain in the world with 20 plus tons of waste and trash on it from over 60 years of people climbing it.

I wonder why the so called environmentalists haven't been clamoring for it to be closed or restricted.

I am still waiting for the day for George Leigh Mallory's body to be found with the Kodak camera and film to see once and for all who really got to the top of the mountain.

I have a hunch that the border area south of Otay Mesa has Everest beat in the pollution department.

Some have wanted it closed for safety reasons: http://www.blueridgeoutdoors.com/go-outside/should-mount-everest-be-closed-forever/

It was closed in 2015: https://gearjunkie.com/mount-everest-closed-for-2015

They have been. Nepal won't. Too important to the local economy.

Mallory’s body was found in 1999: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mallory
