- The Shocking Conditions On Mount Everest Caused By Humans
Have you ever been in awe of those who conquer Everest, standing tall amidst its breathtaking grandeur? Well, the climbers face extreme dangers and difficulties as they ascend this majestic mountain. But that's not all - there's more to Everest than meets the eye. The growing number of climbers for commercial reasons has caused problems, impacting the environment and the local workers who assist them. And This "Dark Side of Everest" is rarely discussed.
Mountaineering, Climbing, Accidents - Zábava
There was certainly a time when the word "brave" came to mind re climbing Everest, and I would still apply it to the Sherpas. However, viewing the lines, the garbage, the waste and etc, I'm afraid words like entitled, selfish, narcissistic and absurd strike me first.
I do think it’s pretty ridiculous that some of those going up there and destroying nature, generating tons of waste, and spending tens of thousands of dollars are probably the same people that go back home to drive EVs and complain about someone using a plastic bottle.
Exactly!🎯
Just for the world record: I do not want to reach the top of Everest. Thank you.
Wow, this is a lot of sugarless truth! Props to you for truthing this abusive form of tourism. Thanks so much for speaking truth.
I think it is important more people are aware of this!
I agree!@@Accident-stories
They were sneaky. They brought attention to problems, but didn't SHOW the problems. It's far less effective describing a problem with a pristine picture in the background.
Rich people will travel a long way to behave badly in other people's back yard.
Sherpas work hard and do everything. They should be paid more than they are and should have reasonable life insurance for their families. I think for a lot of Sherpas they probably don't want to work like this. Love you Sherpa❤
They need to close the mountain, period. And at least let it recover and possibly open only if it's with a reset and a new set of operating procedures.
@CorrindaCampbell There’s just too many entities making a lot of money off that mountain.
The state of Mt. Everest is unreal, it’s gonna be unclimbable at some point due to the trash, like I can’t fathom why these climbers just dump everything everywhere. Then the attitude is “it’s too difficult because we’re on a mountain”. So let someone die cleaning up other peoples messes?
This is where I lose all respect for climbers, they have no respect for the mountain or the environment, it’s just an object to achieve their selfish goals.
It is getting out of control!
They need to double the pay at least for Sherpas and raise cost of permits to cover clean up
It's interesting while bringing attention to the seriousness of the amount of trash hikers leave behind and the severe overcrowding, neither was shown. The amount of trash left behind looks like a New York sanitary landfill. The line of hikers waiting to summit, literally is as far as the eyes can see.
I've seen a few docos about Mt Everest and the work of the sherpas (not just risking their own lives to help these adventure seekers up) but doing the rubbish collection, sometimes body recovery etc. I've never admired ppl who seek to reach such dangerous goals for the purpose of their own self satisfaction anyways but I do have a lot of respect for the Sherpas. Ppl say "well they get paid loads anyways" but I'm sure they (and their families) would much rather that they had safer jobs.
Oh, and one doco showed the amount of rubbish up there - I was shocked, it was if ppl held parties up there - there were piles of empty alcohol bottles and also ppl urinate and defecate everywhere which leads to streams of water flushing it all down the mountain. It's really terrible.
Very few people know about this! Thank you for your contribution.
I feel the same way! Also I was thinking it is a it is common news that someone has succeeded in climbing a mountain... But actually the people who maintain the ropes that carry the luggage of the climbers who guide them? How many times have they climbed this peak? Under what conditions? Why don't we know anything about them? I feel they deserve even more respect!
Who really climbs the mountain the sherpas? 😮
Hi
Video seems to be cut short at 9:15
More in awe of the sherpas
The only ones I really have been in awe of, are the Sherpas who help all the bucket list tourists up the mountain, carrying all their laptops, cameras, food and oxygen, and then clean up all the crap left by the tourists.
Very few tourists would even make it to base camp had it not been for the true heroes.
Considering all the tourists wanting to climb Everest, with more money than skills, and all the garbage and human waste left on the beautiful mountain (not to mention the dead bodies), I think Everest should be closed for tourism.
Unfortunately, both Nepal and the Sherpas have become dependent on the income from the tourism, so it will probably never happen and Everest will slowly become more and more polluted.
I agree!
but no one is forcing them to work on everest.being one of the most uneducated caste what other option do they have.it’s either british army or mountain guides for them.we never get to hear any political leader of sherpa caste because most of politicians are brahmin.every problem that everest has is due to extream commercialism of mountains has been started by sherpas.our late king Birendra bir bikram shah dev would have banned mountaineering years ago if it weren’t for underprivileged impoverished and starving sherpa masses.being a nepalese it’s a shame that world knows nepal either for gurkha or sherpa
If you cant bring your crap down with you then dont go, simple
why do all of this guys videos end abruptly and mid senten
have a word with the chinese and nepalise governments-they are responsible. Don't bash the easy targets. If Everest was in the UK,USA or Europe can you imagine the trouble that those governments would be in???
It’s true , all they are interested in is the money
I am so disgusted by the attitude of tourist climbers. They should need to put a deposit down that is refundable only if the climber brings down their garbage. ALL OF IT!!!!
How difficult would it be to put into place a system whereby everyone must give a full accounting of all the materials they're bringing onto the mountain against which it can be checked to ensure they've brought down all their equipment and garbage when they return? Honestly, if climbers are not willing to be responsible for their environmental impact, they should not be given a permit - full stop. This would effectively get rid of a lot of problematic clients who have no business being anywhere near this mountain. Also, the wealthy international community of climbers should be forced to pay a tax so that the state can employ qualified mountain garbage people to mount an effective clean-up.
It's all about greed. Rich people don't touch the trash at home, why would they on the mountain?
Excellent
The mountain is sacred to Nepali and Tibetans. So disrespectful. Money poisons. Sherpa don't climb for fun; they are driven by poverty to risk their lives for rich brats. On top of all that, they are turning the place into a garbage dump.
I honestly think it is a very bad thing more and more private companies want to make money from Everest!
Sherpas should unionize. These rich climbers need to pay first die later.
The Sherpas are the ones I respect the most because they gotta clean up after the trashy people up there like are you kidding me You Piss Crap And Leave Trash Up There Honestly I’m All For MT Everest NEVER Getting Tourists again Bc People Can’t Seem to Keep It Clean
