With the growth in mountain tourism, Earth’s second-highest mountain, K2, has seen growing piles of trash, including frozen oxygen cans, broken tents and tangled ropes, left behind by climbers. Pakistani mountaineer Sajid Ali Sadpara and his team have embarked on a mission to clean up the mountain, removing 200kg (441lbs) of trash in over a week. The initiative is also Sadpara’s tribute to his father, who died in a 2021 expedition on the mountain.

Wonderful. It's very difficult to clean in that harsh climate.

It takes One generation to get the trash clean Just a piece parts . There are several tons of trashes around the Himalayan regions left over there . Which will take several generation to get cleaned .
To get Job done, One have to have mountainous skills and talents, plus passion dedication too not a jokes .
There are thousands tons of thrash near Ganges rivers who cares in India's so also everywhere .
