In an effort to address deaths, human traffic jams on Mount Everest and also weed out inexperienced climbers, Nepali officials on Wednesday formally proposed new safety rules that could significantly reduce the number of permits issued for the world’s highest peak. Under the measures, climbers would have to prove that they have scaled another major peak, and tourism companies would be required to have at least three years’ experience organizing high-altitude expeditions before they can lead climbers on Everest, Nepal’s tourism ministry said. To discourage cost-cutting that can put climbers’ lives at risk, the ministry also said that clients of expedition companies would have to prove, before setting out, that they had paid at least $35,000 for the expedition. A typical total price tag easily surpasses $50,000. “Everest cannot be climbed just based on one’s wishes anymore,” Yogesh Bhattarai, the tourism minister, said at a news conference. “We are testing their health conditions and climbing skills before issuing climbing permits.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/08/14/world/asia/everest-climbing-rules.amp.html 4 Likes 2 Shares

Pictured are dozens of climbers waiting at the summit in May, 2019. This year 11 people died during the spring climbing season with nine attempting the peak from the southern side of in Nepal, making it one of the worst years on the mountain.

They set the price to chase people away thereby reducing the death rate however the fly that will surely die will follow the dead to the grave. Some people will still pay even if the price is N18 billion. 71 Likes 3 Shares |

What I don't understand is why people are still climbing mount everest! It's deadly dangerous and to crown it, you won't be the first to reach the top. So what's the point! And what is it with those people walking past dead body! If I'm doing something dangerous and I see a dead body, I turn back! I don't need any more warning!!! 7 Likes |
