Original title: Nepal refused to restrict, and the authorities believed that 'too many climbers' was not the cause of death of climbers
At present, 11 people have been killed in the 'big congestion' on Mount Everest. However, the Nepalese authorities believe that 'too many climbers' is not the cause of death of climbers, so they will not limit the number of climbers.
According to the New York Times, danduraj ghimire, director of Nepal's Tourism Bureau, said that 'congestion' is not the main reason for the rise in the death toll from climbing Mount Everest this year. He mentioned that the reason for the weather can not be ignored, because the number of days suitable for mountaineering is reduced this year. Therefore, the Nepalese authorities are not inclined to change the number of mountaineering permits issued, that is, there will be no limit on the number of mountaineers. " If you really want to limit the number of climbers, let's all stop climbing Everest, 'said the director of Nepal Tourism Bureau.
The report believes that although the weather is one of the main reasons for investigating mountaineering, even in May, which is the most suitable for mountaineering, there are only a few days. The weather is sunny enough and the wind is mild enough to meet the conditions for climbing.
Some experienced climbers told us media reporters that the most important problem this year is the sharp increase in the number of climbers at the same time. In addition, the government did not arrange police officers on the mountain, so the task of deciding which group of people to climb the top fell to each mountaineering company. Climbers, whether experienced or not, will have a strong desire to climb the top at this step. Therefore, even if they see potential risk factors, they will still choose to move forward.
On the 27th local time, another climber died on the crowded Everest. So far, the death toll caused by the 'traffic jam' on Everest has risen to 11.
After the weather warmed up, the number of 'mountaineering tide' on Mount Everest gradually increased, which also led to a large-scale congestion on Mount Everest. Many climbers had to queue for hours at an altitude of about 8000 meters. In addition, most people can only hold on for a few minutes after climbing the mountain without additional oxygen supply. However, due to the delay of crowding down the mountain, the long waiting time, too much physical consumption and other factors, many people left their lives on Everest.
Elia saikaly, from Canada, climbed Mount Everest for the third time this month for preparing a documentary. He witnessed the tragedy of 'big congestion' on the mountain. He said that corpses could be seen along the road and in the tent, and everyone had to step over the dead to climb the top. " I'll never go up the mountain again. It's really terrible, 'shakari told reporters.
According to CNN, more than 200 climbers have died in the process of climbing Mount Everest since it was recorded in 1922. Most of the dead were buried in snow and glaciers.
In addition to the deaths and injuries caused by the 'big congestion', the garbage problem has gradually emerged. The Nepalese authorities have managed to transport back four bodies and 10 tons of garbage on the 27th. At present, the local government has sent 14 people around the base camp and camp 4 to collect garbage as much as possible, including empty cans, plastic products and waste mountaineering equipment.
