“How many people get up there to trash the place so much? I thought it was hard to climb.”
I have seen photos of the area. The grounds are littered with hundreds of empty oxygen bottles and gear such as sleeping and cooking utensils. The climbers don’t bother lugging their trash with them on the way down. In addition, there are dead bodies all over the place.
With so many people who have made the climb, it shouldn’t rank up there on the top 10 big deals anymore. With all the garbage, it’s hardly the pristine paradise it once was. No thanks, I’d rather not use a dead body as a foot hold.
