So, in one respect, at least, Mount Everest and Washington, DC, have something in common.

Obviously “the government” needs to throw a few billion dollars at this problem. I mean, after spending a few hundred million studying it and blaming republicans for it, being a “crisis” and all. Obviously.

A fecal time bomb Isn't that the same as SHTF? Or is it a new type of WMD?

Chomolungma should be closed to human presence . Other than , say , one ascent per year .
I have flown by this mountain and all others in the range from a distance of several miles off . There is no sign of human presence from that perspective and that’s how it should be . Let the Migyur have it back . Humans , other than the indigenous people , have no right to be up there befouling it.

Now, it’s basically just people with money being carried to the top by the Sherpa, not much to do with climbing, more to do with hubris.

Talk about Upper Deckers !!
I think that has to be one of the funniest comments I've seen on FR!
To: Vigilanteman
I have also read that close to 200 who have died trying the climb and died, their bodies are still on the mountain.

I think it’s more along the lines of what rolls downhill.

At this rate, I can see all mountain climbing being shut out, and any so called research will become very expensive.
Didn’t Tennessee E. Ford have a song called ‘16 Tons’?
He sang about coal, but maybe it started off about something else.

There’s a homosexual reference in there somewhere.

Cimbers rarely show up alone. Sherpas, guides and support staff are normally accompany climbers. Not all to the top, but from base camp at least.

They’re the ones who are climbing Mt. Everest. How ironic!
