What’s Up with Huge Traffic on Mount Everest?

Mount Everest

A video showing a long line of climbers on top of Mount Everest has gone viral on social media, which created a huge hassle all over the internet .

Mount Everest is not a small mountain that you can climb easily as a hobby. There was a time when climbing Everest was considered to be an achievement, but now with huge facilities anyone can climb Everest with a little help.

But, based on this theory if you go you will face serious consequences. Similar thing happened on Tuesday when British climber Daniel Paterson and his Nepali Sherpa Pastenji were hit by falling ice as they climbed down from the summit.

The clip was posted on Instagram by Rajan Dwivedi on May 20, which showed him waiting in a single line with dozens of climbers behind him trying to make the summit.

He successfully summited Everest at 6 am on May 19, but he wrote that Everest is not an easy task climbing down was a nightmare for him.

The company, which organised the expedition, said the collapse happened on Hillary Step, a vertical rock face near the summit and that the men “fell down towards the Tibet side through a very vertical steep”.

Mr. Peterson took the initiative to raise funds for the families.

But, one thing all climbers should keep in mind is that visiting mountains for vacation and climbing it are both different things.

You need to have physical training and have to be capable of coping with that low Oxygen level which means if you have breathing problems you should avoid climbing.

Moreover, climate change is a huge thing everyone has to make sure that they don’t forget. Natural calamity can happen any moment, so it’s better that you avoid climbing trips in risky weather.
