Social-Media-Posts Massenansturm am Everest Auf dem höchsten Berg der Welt steht man mittlerweile im Stau - wie auf der A3. Sieh dir diesen Beitrag auf Instagram an @drjonkedski - #everest2019 CROWDS- I want to address the topic that seems to be on everyone’s minds since I have gotten tons of messages from people and there are lots of stories in the media about people dying from massive traffic jams on #Everest. Swipe ?? here to see places I encountered up to 30-50 climbers at any given time on the route. YES- most of the crowding was from the South side nepal route where nearly 400 western climbers plus Sherpas had permits. Even with 150 permits over here, Our North side route felt more crowded than normal this season for one main reason: number of possible summit days. The Chinese rope fixing team on this side chose to put the route in to the summit on May 22nd. Therefore May 23 and 24 were the only good days to go for the top so the bottleneck possibilities are obvious. (This morning- May 27th here in the Himalayas) there are a few teams still trying to make the top from the south- but most teams also took advantage of the weather on May 23rd and that’s where you get crowding. Solutions? Yes-just like in the US National Park system- limiting permits would help- especially on the Nepal side. But is anyone willing to compromise $$? On the Tibet side- last season we had 11 days in a row when you could summit versus 2- so when you can spread out people here- the congestion is minor. #everesting . . . . . #trafficjams #topoftheworld #everestnofilter #jonsjourneys #bepossible #himalayas #mounteverestofficial #crowding #intothinair #sagarmatha #chomolungma #cbsnews #29ers #exploremore #everestnews #climbing Ein Beitrag geteilt von Everest Trek (@everest.trek) am Mai 27, 2019 um 4:07 PDT 1 / 14
