It’s funny how we’ve reached a point in modern civilization where climbing Everest is just a bucket list thing.

They should just build a nice lodge up there, with a really, REALLY long tram ride. :)

And a road to the top, so the lodge can sell bumper stickers that state "This car climbed Mt. Everest".

I think it would be great if climbers were required to do a bit of community service and pick up trash to be bagged. Then, send up balloons to let the wind carry the trash away from the mountain. If coordinated, drones could catch the floating trash bags for proper disposal. Teams could gradually get rid of the bodies, too.

At my age, it would be the LAST item in the bucket.

“It’s funny how we’ve reached a point in modern civilization where climbing Everest is just a bucket list thing.”

They say more people have now climbed Everest than have sailed (by wind) around the world.
