Everest Guide Kami Rita Sherpa Calls for Climber Limit Amid Record Crowds
Kami Rita Sherpa, a renowned Mount Everest guide, has urged authorities to limit the number of climbers on the peak due to overcrowding. This season, the number of climbers has increased significantly as China has closed the route from Tibet, leaving the Nepalese side as the only option. On a single day, 274 climbers reached the summit from Nepal, marking the highest number ever recorded. A total of 494 climbers have been issued permits, each accompanied by a Sherpa guide. Kami Rita, who recently scaled Everest for the 32nd time, highlighted the dangers of overcrowding, such as traffic jams and prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. He emphasized the need for authorities to control the number of climbers to ensure safety.
