Did 2019 Exploitation of Everest Reach its Peak? Inside Everest's Deadliest Season

[Music] next tonight the growing emergency on mount everest it's been the deadliest climbing season for years and also the busiest climbing season ever [Music] the way the authorities manage everest has come under massive scrutiny and the number of people who try it just keeps growing far above the levels of even two decades ago the world has seen the photograph that's gone viral of the queue the government is blaming the weather for the number of deaths this season every single year every may there's going to be news about everest there's going to be news about death those deaths are prompting questions about whether there are too many climbers and how nepal is handling it [Music] all right interview take one and obviously if i get into something and i kind of get tongue-tied or messed up i can just say let's just pause and then i'll give two or three second silence for the editor to get sort of i'm okay like this so lisa let's start by uh you'll always look at me yeah fine martin had a role to play in your journey as a mountaineer what was it [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] oh [Music] so so this is my uh my memory wall if you will uh the ice axe is what actually went to the summit of mount everest and this is my summit certificate with my photograph proving that i did get to the top this is given to all the climbers along with these ropes around your neck or strings that have been blessed by a local llama for permission to climb the mountain forgiveness for damaging a mountain is safety for the climbers so one of the things i've been doing when i'm not climbing a mountain is following the ever season from my home in colorado in my home office and what i do is i track around 200 sites a day which i'll check in and read two or three times a day to see what news is there also i have friends that climb the mountain i have guides that will send me information i'll receive calls in the middle of the night telling me that something disastrous has happened or someone wants to know what the weather looks like when i first saw that picture that nims posted i believe it was on instagram it was like a kick in the gut to me [Music] i went oh my gosh this is not what mountaineering is all about this is not what mount everest is all about and i was very concerned for every single individual up there because when you're up there and you're in a line like that you're not moving and the one of the primary reasons you're not moving is like it's like being on a one-way street when i saw this this emerging situation i wrote on my blog that we have a potential disaster in development that we have this many people this short a time the end of the season the number of inexperienced climbers with unqualified guides this was the perfect storm artist background mala nature of course our word hoties that's where essentially [Music] [Music] foreign um foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Applause] it is very popular to go climb everest there's a status associated with it uh even though getting the money is very difficult and many young people want to go climb the government encourages it and actually families encourage it and if you sum it you're a hero if you die you're a martyr so as a result we have people coming from india that perhaps don't have quite the level experience so people trying to attempt in the same day lost a big team and especially there with a lot of unindependent climber who are just uh not very responsible for their own uh thing lots of climber have a always a big ego that they don't want to turn around it doesn't really listen i think and most importantly last year we i can we can see a lot of uh unprofessional climber who climbed to who just climbed to aberrance with money i think that's that's how lots of accidents happen [Music] [Music] i don't remember the exact age but i was very young right it's just a faded memory and somewhere on the tv or maybe somewhere just on the radio or something like that and i just knew everest was the highest mountain that's all i knew so we're going to my birthplace where i was born and this place is really close to my heart because i spent most of my childhood there [Music] when i was a kid this was a big goal to climb this tiny little hill this was a challenge for me then this was my childhood everest back then i was a young and free soul just like those kids [Music] because i was very obsessed with those i won't see summits but yeah i was obsessed with the peaks of the mountains because i used to look at them like okay i don't know how big it is but yeah someday at some point in my life i will find them i didn't know how to climb it how much money it takes how much efforts how deadly it is how many people lost their lives eleven kilometers completed duration 4 hours 42 minutes 32 seconds and after like few years it started turning into a goal everything was forever running 22k every morning doing the hardest training possible choosing a different career in the place i live that was the most toughest thing i have done and i found my purpose in everest at least i should go and climb it at no matter how young i am [Music] i found out 2015-16 somewhere on the internet and i couldn't believe my eyes honestly i was like no this is not real like forty thousand dollars fifty thousand dollars even like more what it cost me it's a lot of money i told my father can you take a loan and he's like i'll try he's like no we can't but yeah i'll try i till now i still don't have an idea how he manages this when the commercialization of everest first began adventure consultants charge 65 000 and i find it interesting that up until a couple of years ago they still charge 65 000 so basically over 20 or 25 years but that set a a a floor for the pricing that's when the nepali company saw the opportunity to come in and again to cut out the western guide and now they offered to climb mount everest at half the price instead of 65 000 maybe 35 000 maybe even 20 000. so that brought in a whole new demographic of climbers people that they didn't have enough money to be able to climb denali and okincagua well this was good news and bad news the good news was it brought in a whole new generation and i am all for the youth getting into the mountaineering sport that i love the bad news was they simply didn't have enough experience and we saw all this come together in 2019. now these days the problem is people paid money uh whatever it depends how their company charge fifty thousand to sixty seventy thousand dollars if you have a really good guide team if you pay you you will get what you pay but we have also very i would say we have very big big unhealthy competition with the agency that they run by very cheap and if you pay good of course definitely they will save you what what would be your advice for those companies who is like you know doing some some unhealthy competition i i i don't want to talk about this this very small world [Music] i'm finally in nepal kathmandu new city new country [Music] and quite close to my goal then finally we decided to take a helicopter all the way to lukla once i was in look i was like wow being on the world's most deadliest airport then once we landed in lukla then we started our trek all the way to base camp so it's a lot of experience you're meeting new people new culture new new things and some it wasn't in my head honestly there were other factors coming in my head i'm going to be the youngest kashmiri on everest what if i don't make it to the summit what if something happens i'm coming back from camp three because the weather was so bad it's even snowing right now so i'll be attempting the next some window one probably might be 22nd of this month now what comes into play is the important acclimatization rotation which is really really important when i made my first rotation and when i stepped in to coombu ice fall for the first time it was like scary [Music] i have never seen something big and scary in my life [Music] i guess most of the people might not know when to uh cross the kumbh ice fall because it's all moving eyes my body was giving up my i was getting depressed because there are like big soft eyes big blocks of ice as huge as the house is like a two-story house and you never know anything can happen [Music] anytime when i was there i thought i'm going to be with a team and they would they'll support me they'll help me they will encourage me because i i was the youngest on the team but it didn't happen i've been noticed as an indian climber because i didn't know the reputation of indian mountaineering outside the world because once you're with the outsiders asian climbers uh somewhere other than an other part of the world with some foreign climbers the things really change you're being recognized as an indian who doesn't really know how to climb big mountains just being an asian climber they didn't like they kind of decided with the sherpa team that is going with a different sherpa he'll go alone he's not he can't make his ass baby they're too fast right there i was supposed to be clubbing with the team but today we arrived at the base camp they said you're too slow you cannot climb with us because i spent most of the time on everest all alone in my tent and climbing all alone [Music] and i started to realize so many things honestly like the amount of garbage they have left there the amount of trash people leave on the mountainside plus so many other factors because people just know about the everest climbing we don't know what happens up there actually that was the moment i realized we should not expect anything from anyone it's not like the national teams where if one person summited the whole team declared victory now it's a team of individuals and every individual wants to summit for whatever their unique and personal reason is right or wrong they want to summon and they're not they're not going to give up their summit for somebody else most of the time many people consider to be a a badge of honor that they they've climbed the highest mountain in the world they do it for their pure ego other people do it as an accomplishment which they consider to be the pinnacle of mountaineering because it's the highest mountain of the world not necessarily the hardest i don't believe that mountain climbing is about summits i don't believe mountain climbing is about records i don't believe being the first person from your city uh the first person of your nationality is all of that important obviously there's pride associated with that which everybody can appreciate but doing it for the wrong reasons is inviting the wrong consequence [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] i will return back [Music] [Music] last year there were only three days in the prime season the prime week to go summit everest normally there's five six seven eight or even like in 2018 there were 11 consecutive days so you can take five 600 people spread them out over 11 days and just like my experience in 2011 not have a problem but if you take five six seven hundred people and you try to put them into three days i promise you you're gonna have a problem and that's what we saw last year [Music] last year on both sides of the mountain there were 1137 permits issued for both members and for support the most ever it was a record in 2019. back in the 90s you might have had 50 people summited in a year maybe in 95 by 99 or 2000 maybe it grew to 150 200 people a year that included both members in other words clients who paid a permit as well as support staff and that ratio then was typically one client to maybe three quarters of of a support person so if you had 100 people summit members then maybe 75 sherpas would support them that equation has changed over the last 20 years it's now common to have 300 clients close to 400 clients or members as they're also called and then you've got cook's base camp support staff so it's not uncommon to have a thousand twelve hundred thirteen hundred people on the nepal site at base camp with that meaning 800 people that are going to be attempting to mountain both members as well as support [Music] it's like a moonwalk yeah actually so you should like look like a nil atmosphere ah nil are no strong correct [Music] based campus foreign foreign [Music] [Music] foreign foreign foreign 300 people climbing on a single rope on a same day but they were already like so many people up on the mountain and another surprising fact was that some people have had left too early to make it to the summit because it was becoming it has become sort of a race summit race and they're all pushing for the summit they're like how am i going to pass all of these people because there was there was an amount of pressure coming from the back side because you're on a rope there is like so many people in front of you on the back of you they're like come on man mate push it push it i've seen people dying actually they were just trying to push themselves for the sake of summit i realized no man everest is something it's turning to something else [Music] i'm like what's going on in here is this a race a death race you have a guide you have these sherpas that have summited 10 times you're in a line with a bunch of other people so how hard is it well i can tell you it's damn hard so now you've got this person going so slowly but they're going to get to the top ambition arrogance whatever reason they're going to get to the top and the guide that they're with it doesn't have the knowledge or the skills or the desire to turn that person around because if you're a sherpa and you sum it that's a check mark on your cv and a lot of times you get a summit bonus financially for getting your client to the top so we've got pride we've got money we've got ego we've got everything involved of why you climb but you've got this person at the top that's going so slowly that nobody can pass them and the clock is ticking you're taking a breath of oxygen and you're using up that precious oxygen so now you're going along and this this this this crazy dance it's like the world's worst tango that you've got to put your rope around the other person while staying clipped in so you're never unclipped that person stands still then you clip in now you've got to take the other one and put it around and then you've got to move around that person and if you have 300 people doing this you end up with a line like what you saw finally you were able to see the sun then it came a moment which has like really really kind of broke me [Music] there was something going wrong with my oxygen regulator i was like i was not able to breathe [Music] i'm running out of oxygen i may need to change my slender so i tried to change the pressure i tried to change the knob but it was not coming in you're already in the death zone about 8 000 meters your body is already dying so my sherpa is like uh look you're young he tried to like sort of convince me that not to go up because it's going to be deadly believe me yesterday i nearly died i was like no i'm not going back and if it breaks i'm going up because i've already spent so much time training the money and it's right there in front of my eyes the summit is like in front of my eyes i'm going up and climb it but i came to a realization that no even if i make it to the summit what if i can't make it back down i had to make a decision very very like so quick and i still remember like sherpa was saying to me come on make a decision you can't go up you'll kill yourself so i made a decision to turn around that was like something one of the biggest decisions i have made in my life [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign foreign [Music] foreign at least [Music] foreign she is my wife she is dying please help [Music] foreign [Music] foreign foreign [Music] when people look at a picture like from 2019 the instant reaction is that we should reduce the number of people climbing and we should do it through reducing the number of permits issued you know i think that the the problem will remain the same that it doesn't matter if you had if you let's say instead of having unlimited number of permits that they limited to 500 people and you still had three days of a weather window you're gonna have the same problem in 2024 that you did in 2019 a question often asked is has commercialization really destroyed the sense of adventure or the soul of climbing and i think the answer is yes and no it certainly has become more attainable and it's also become safer statistically depaul's a different story nepal's a poor impoverished country where most of their income comes from tourism or comes from remittances by people working outside of nepal they need every single rupee that they can possibly get so they have never considered limiting the number of people that can climb mount everest that every country takes advantage of their national national resources be it oil uh be it fishing waters off their coast and if you're a landlocked country with no natural resources like oil or mineral like nepal does what they do have are beautiful stunning himalayan mountains including their half of mount everest so they have i think the right to commercialize the mountain to the extent that the united states commercializes uh denali in alaska that italy and france commercialize montblanc that switzerland commercializes the matterhorn so i don't think it's particularly correct to criticize or pull out nepal from their commercialization that said there's a responsibility to how you manage the mountain so hi everyone i'm live again uh this live session is about everest experience so i want you all to ask yourself a question why do you want to climb the biggest mountain in the world because i believe there are more mountains in the world you can we can just look beyond everest there are so many other mountains lying there which are yet to be climbed [Music] when i do stories about everest i get the best responses because everyone else is just obsessed my message to everybody else is let's look beyond this [Music] when i was coming back towards camp three camp two [Music] i wasn't able to look back at the mountain [Music] i guess there's not enough kindness on the everest or maybe any other mountain because people are so much obsessed with their summit with their goal and they forget everything the humanity the kindness the love the affection everything is forgotten selfishness i saw there it was really really different okay i'm saying goodbye and i'm not coming back here i never know when i'll be back here again every summer after the season and they get criticized for something happening on the mountain then they form a committee they study the mountain whether it's trash or permits or summit certificates or crowding or fixed ropes pick your topic and then they will issue a new set of rules and they never get enforced i think the answer is to put in qualifications for the climber so that you have to have summoned an 8 000 meter mountain before you attempt everest and the guides have to be certified by international accredited organizations instead of just being someone who has a practical experience i think they also need to have a knowledge based upon education through mountaineering [Applause] foreign foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] facebook this is the actually anjali's photographs with me this is top of the goa with anjali you can say she was with me i miss you anjali [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] she died top of the world [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] you know my father would be very disappointed with the way mountaineering has turned out today especially on everest and all these high mountains these people are abusing the mountain [Music] the sense of adventure is lost [Music] so i don't think my father would be very pleased you know i'm for sure you'll be very disappointed yeah that's a photograph of my father on the summit in 53 and a photograph of me on the same spot 43 years later at that time [Music] because of the equipment and all the work that the sherpas do on the mountain people think is basically like walking up the stairs you know going for a hike oh all the shepherds will do the work you know i just have to pay money i call them overnight climbers these are overnight climbers who have a lot of money you know business executives or what you know wealthy people that have like sixty thousand dollars hundred thousand hundred and twenty thousand dollars to spend so that they can climb everest and take it on the bucket list [Music] these are the people that uh danger the danger of their lives and then they put the lives of the sherpas at risk along with all the teammates it's not climbing [Music] back then what my father and hillary did and all those people back you know who climbed they were the actual true pioneers you know they were explorers they opened the route for us they showed us the way we are following in their footsteps [Music] so [Music] uh [Music] [Applause] and most people ask why do you climb everest personally for me you know as a normal person i mean i want to do amazing things and you know and have fun as i live life [Music] to me climbing mount everest is a personal quest in terms of how far can i push myself that's one and second at the same time i'm able to inspire others like you know for example if i could do it somebody you know somebody normal as me can do it anybody could do it [Music] is [Music] [Applause] oh minus 25 minus 30. [Laughter] [Music] here foreign something [Music] more [Music] when i saw that picture put up by nims i mean this particular guy who came up with that shot and i was like oh my god [Music] seriously what's going on in this mountain it looks like a metro station i mean everybody's screwing up to go up the summit oh i was shocked because personally i was shocked so how are you gonna manage this [Music] [Music] right [Music] for many years we were talking about a catastrophe that we will see happening on on the nepal side [Music] when you look at the 11 deadly accidents from the 2019 season [Music] two of the elevens were people who failed the other nine were somehow related to an oxygen problem it has been too crowded the summit day too many people up there at the same time at the same place [Music] this is a deadly combination [Music] over the last years we saw rising the numbers of climbers and permits every year i never really believed it that something is really happening like this then when i experienced this myself i could see it with my own eyes i could see that the people in base camp who are walking around and telling everyone that everest is the first time they are climbing a mountain the first time they have crampons on their boots the first time the first mountain in their life this is absolutely crazy there must be expedition operators that are accepting just anyone who is applying who is paying and i'm very sure that that this is the way it works otherwise it wouldn't be possible to find this kind of people there [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Applause] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] business [Music] it's around two more than 2000 companies they are also good knowledge to tracking and a small peak but best knowledge us to expedition for 8 000 and 7 000. lion bro want to go mountain but they don't have enough money so that way our i should be doing some lowest price also can climb the everest [Music] yes [Music] foreign [Music] so now we have 18 member bbip team in the lobuchi in manasulo and this is for training and the next year 2021 and everest and they are from baron so there are prince and the team [Music] that's why they are the bbip expedition thank you [Music] oh has badly suffered in the tourism sector but your right hand is your presence in nepal and in everest region has given us the hope that this industry will soon be revived your presence will pass a positive message to inside the world that nepal and our average reason is safe for the mountaineer and the trekkers to travel nowadays you know it has become you know my friend also climbed somebody else climbed this guy's climb why can't i [Music] [Applause] climb today climbing everest has become a product it's a very good product you know i don't blame in a way i don't blame people also for you know because it's a good way to make money for all the local companies in nepal in kathmandu plus the amount of business that goes from you know the food chain is a lot so it's a big uh boom for the economy but a lot of these people that come they have no no physical condition to do these things they haven't been to altitudes before one of the things that kills most of the people on the mountain is the altitude so this is your main day lifeline and then there will be a rope a little bit clippings over here huh so this is atc remember so i'll remove this here right now yeah so once i get to the top then i will call you okay wait for my commands so i will let you know to be laid off when i say be laid off yeah then what i do i'm going to delay you from the top there [Music] okay [Music] i have not climbed any of 8000 meters peak yet once you get to 8 000 i think uh which we all call it the that zone we have to start putting on the oxygen and then probably finish up the last last stretch i mean i've seen i've read and i've seen a lot of stories about it your body dynamics you know you can't predict what is going to happen you probably won't be able to see you won't be there you know you you won't have a better control of your limbs and things like that we can only hope for the best because i've heard folks who go when they went up they went blind or they went deaf or they can't hear or their motor skills weren't off or their limbs are not working or they just cannot progress so various stuff i mean i've heard all this stuff in training we can only stimulate as much as we can but every mountain is different so we just could hope for the best and and and try now the question is if this happens on a mountain right now with me if i'm climbing on the mountain with 300 people and somebody collapses and i've paid 100 000 for my chance to climb i'm right there i'm about 200 meters from the summit do i help this person who should not be there or to sacrifice my climb or do i just step over this person you know and then continue and uh claim my summit get my photograph and come back down what do you do it's very difficult to balance these things and there have been many many cases on mountains especially on everest where people have been left for dead you know and um the other climb as well you shouldn't be here you know i don't want to risk my life to save somebody who should not have been there in the mountain in the first place when you have no experience you're on the mountain you know you put your risk at life 99 then you risk the lives of the sherpa people the sherpa climbers who are there on the mountain if anything happens to you you'll need 10 people 10 sherpas to get you off the mountain and then you risk the lives of your [Music] teammates [Music] ah [Music] how [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] of course i'm really happy to back to work look and the many people is joining here all the people is very happy place to make and do this now [Music] i think we take time like one year two year most next year is recovery more sixty persons after two years maybe eighty percent after three years hundred percent will be same like people [Music] let's go [Music] [Music] okay should we move down yeah all right wow i gave you the experience the whole reason to climb is just to get to the summit and take a photo the selfie they need the photo on the top in today's climbing world you take all my stuff i'm not going to carry anything i'm just going to go you follow me you one in front one behind and then that's how you go they don't talk about all right how about the 30 sherpas that were there to help you my suggestion for the nepalese government is to get endorsements for every climber from the local alpine clubs you know all from the countries alpine the accredited you know alpine club or mountaineering club [Music] screw on the safety cap again so now you can try the mask oxygen is flowing tight on your nose exactly [Music] and if you sleep in this moment in the wrong moment you fought [Music] [Music] we do this kind of of trainings especially with people that we don't know people who have no climbing record who can prove that they have done this in this summit we want to see how how they handle this stuff how they move in in the terrain and if we see that someone is absolutely not able to move in a safe way it could be that we say no we are saying no to about 50 of all people that are applying for everest with us [Music] the people that die mostly like 80 or 90 percent they they were clients on budget operators on everest [Music] in many cases probably not experienced enough for this climb and have no proper climbing training done before no proper climbing experience [Music] even if you voice your opinion to the nepalese government oh yeah that's a good thing we'll we'll do it you know but it never happens [Music] like for example in 1996 with total 14 climbing start i think that season it was the biggest disaster [Music] and um the government at that time said all right we're gonna put a cap we're only going to allow like 10 expeditions then by the time march came of 201 in 97 they were already like 40 expeditions you know the government just are you know just give it so they started giving out permission they had more climbers back then last year after some of after quite a few people died the government said all right we're going to start you know uh making sure that if you want to climb average you have to climb a 7000 meter peak before you can attempt that only only we will issue permit but i will give you in writing right now that that's not going to happen next [Music] year [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] my in nepal you can almost get away with everything it's not not really corruption it's just the government has no limitations next year you will not have people who have climbed six thousand or seven thousand meter peaks they will give issue promise to anybody they want [Music] well see he when my father climbed back then there was only one team on the mountain okay that was it the nepalese government gave only one permit per year nowadays the nepalese government issues about 350 400 requirements it's a big business everest itself brings under 10 000 per head for permit roughly so that's about 350 400 climbers you know four million dollars right over three and a half four million dollars comes into the nepalese you know tourism the nepalese government [Music] so [Music] that's pretty much uh what i have uh to pack and uh and move you up uh you got to know from head to toe whatever you're gonna wear in fact this whole process it helped me to uh uh get ready for the whole climb yeah yeah it's like oops you know what i'm climbing already [Laughter] i think i'm good to go i think i can go tomorrow not forgetting very important our malaysian flag important to carry and let say hey legends up there too yes we asians can make it up there too i guess it's all a matter of planning within within the teams and even there are going to be 300 people in the mountain i think we should have we should have some mountaineering ethics and work around and climb along that along the lines here and uh if you're tired i think uh stop and let the person at the back you know pass you and things like that see this happens every year this queue happens every year unfortunately last year it was not well managed right uh probably every team had picked the same date to summit and probably uh they were worried about the weather the same thing happens you you very get on a metro if you decide to get a metro on a rush hour it's going to be busy my game plan is at the same time watching the weather and coordinating with the rest of the other operators so i guess the there there would be some some form of planning will happen because trust me i mean if everybody decides to go on the same day i don't think the mountain will be able to cater for that right so we will have more deaths and more unforeseen incidences that's that's that's definitely going to happen yeah i hope if the entire team are not sitting together i i hope the nepali government steps in and manages that that's my only hope at the eddy stage yeah i just got to get fit i got to be ready all right so whatever it takes i mean like you know i got to get ready for it anyway that's what it is [Music] i've trained very hard and i've made all the preparation in a tropical situation but getting into uh in an altitude position is very different right so how how does he all behave and how do we feel one thing i realized that is about your mind at the end yeah if you say you could do it you could do it yeah i would say i'm in my best form about you know fitness level in my life compared to when when i you know when i was in 20's yeah um you know i was i mean i can i can do a trial-a-thon and then i can still climb another five or five thousand steps there in a weekend so you know i think um age is not a factor oldest climber who has submitted averages 82 or i don't see age as a factor you can be super prepared and you can be super fit but uh you don't know what's gonna hit you today you know over the years humans we've softened up because of the technology we have because of all the clothing we have you know we relied so much on materialistic things you know all the fancy you know clothing and you know vortex you know whatever it is and uh you know you take your flight over there you don't have to walk 20 days you just take a flight you walk five days you know that has made us weak we've become weak human beings you know we've become very soft if you ask any mountaineer today one of the best climbers in the you know world you gather them up today and then you tell them to go and climb everest the same way my father and hillary did back in 53 you go and tell them with the exact equipment the same way they did they will not be able to go [Music] every season when we start to prepare our everest expedition i start to my beginning where i was totally against running commercial everest expeditions and i always ask myself is this what what i'm doing now what i'm preparing now bring more people there feeding all the stereotypes bringing rich people there is this good what we are doing is this the right thing is this killing the spirit of everest is this taking his heart or his soul at the end i always come to the same conclusion for me everest has no soul everest has a meaning and emotions that are in the climbers but everest is rock and ice and snow and it is a place where people can materialize their emotions and their feelings [Music] it is the highest point on the planet and i have seen almost all of our clients including myself on the summit of mount everest crying full of emotions crying because they are standing on the top of this planet and i feel that i'm not doing bad on everest i'm doing good a good thing i help people i assist people getting their dreams come true [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] the first expeditions didn't care at all about pollution they left all their garbage everything that's why it it it got the reputation as the highest garbage place in the world [Music] most of the operators that are doing a good job are taking down not only their own garbage all of it but also the garbage from other expeditions there are control checkpoints at the beginning of base camp when you come down from the mountain and if you if you don't follow this this regulations you pay very high fines financial fines [Music] where humans go we leave trash and also humans should not be allowed to go anywhere the nepalese government has a rule to bring back your trash they take in a deposit garbage disposal deposit but imagine you're paying hundred thousand dollars and five thousand dollars you say i don't need the five thousand dollars i'll just leave my trash there that's the attitude of people who are climbing [Music] anytime soon [Music] the 500 people and the clients average you have a space around 2000 people can climb there you have enough space [Music] the people is not dead from crowd people is dead their health issue is big different but don't be issue for together yeah this is the wrong things if they have a physical is not the strong and then of course in dying mountain we can fight nature if they have bad feel that they have to say us and before their summit so we can shape for them but some they are they don't say us and don't say for a shepherd guide and they are to push in summit and then after the people get a problem [Music] mommy [Music] we cannot stop for your dreams i mean you know the people want to go out but we can't push him down [Music] [Music] you
