Just $4,000? I've seen pics of the garbage heap and at that rate, will we find some Bud cans on Mars if and when?

The fatality rate of climbing Everest is 6.5%? You’ll have to carry out your dead too.

and what is the fee to climb? Up to $100,000 US$?

Plus travel costs clothing & equipment etc .

The climbers can afford that.

This is one China policy I could not agree more with.

LOL! Chicoms care about their environment? Naaa..they see these types as easy marks to make money off of.

Cripes, China is nothing more than a smokey factory waste land...and they’re worried about poop in the mountains? LOL!! More like worried about the chumps who they aren’t cashing in on.

China requires Everest climbers to carry their waste out with them.

No $h!t?

Isn’t only half of Everest in China?

Most of these climbers are flaming leftists so I am not surprised at their propensity for trashing their path.

Put up a few signs, like they do in Gun Free Zones! Problem solved.

That will be $4,000.00, Please. Cash, no checks or credit cards. ;)

The irony is that most Everest climbers are hard core environmentalists and yet they leave a pile of sh^t on the mountain.

Should be doing it in the first place without having to be told to by the government.
Leave nothing but footprints.

Everest is basically a giant $hitscicle with bodies sprinkled in for the chunks.

Many trust-funders love going to Everest with a dozen of their friends and think nothing of dropping $250,000 on the venture. $4,000 fine? Pocket change to them. Make it $400,000 and they might blink.

I think you actually have to have a couple screws loose to have an obsession on climbing mountains where you need oxygen gear and the chance of dying is upwards of 30%

To put it plain and simple go to a nice mountain range like the Sierras is choose a 13 or 14,000 foot peak and climb in a couple days and camp out it’s very pleasant beautiful

lakes glaciers everything you ever wanted

the temperature is nice too and no weather

I mean come on.

And certainly if you’re going to climb a mountain big boy or girl you need to be able to do it on your own

no Sherpas no help no nothing.

Yes. The climate on the mountains does not lend itself to the natural degradation of waste.

Waste? Does this mean that the chicoms have been allowing hidebeast to climb Everest?
