Reason: More people are climbing Mount Everest
Evidence: "When I arrived at the apex …, it was so crowded I couldn't find a place to stand," ]]> 2018-02-28 16:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dwoody628/6neioakokemq/wish/236515327 Ethan cr_ekaratov https://padlet.com/dwoody628/6neioakokemq/wish/236656171 Cliam: climing Mt. everest is not that chalenging?:
Evindence: 2013, when a team from National Geographic Magazine trekked up the mountain to mark the anniversary of Whittaker's quest; they found that in 2013, the challenge isn't nearly as….challenging.
Claim: Lot of people go to Mt. everest
Evindence: There are about 35,000 visitors to the Everest region annually, and the money they spend for guides and permits is crucial to Nepal's economy, where the average national wage is less than $900. It has become, in the words of one climber, "a commercial mountain."
Cliam: You need training
Evidence: One crucial element is to ensure that climbers have the experience necessary; without the training, some just don't recognize that at some point, it might be time to turn around and go back.
"Only half the people here have the experience to climb this mountain," a Sherpa told the magazine. "The half without experience are the most likely to die."
