EVEREST 2024: Shocking Video After Summit Accident.

With the increase in climbers, Mount Everest has become more and more threatening over the years. even on the summit. the guide Vinayak Malla summited Everest at 6 am on the morning of May 21, the busiest summit day, with Elite Exped clients. On their way back, they videoed how the snow cornice couldn’t stand the weight of hundreds of climbers and gave in, dragging a number of people into the void.

I am Nepali and I wish my government wouldn't get so greedy and give out permits to everyone and their grandmother. We need to massively curtail the number of climbers allowed each season to preserve the beautiful mountain and prevent incidents like these.

The only thing missing from this "Shocking Video of Summit Accident" is a shocking video of a summit accident. Should be titled "Non-Shocking Video of Climbers on Everest".

Everyone setting foot on that mountain should be required to remove their own trash and waste as part of the permit or go to jail. Garbage and human waste destroying a sacred mountain for ego and a selfie. It is not impressive it is grotesque

[wendydarling]

It's truly sad how many inexperienced climbers cause death for so many. Only the most experienced should be allowed to climb and keep all their trash.

I wouldn't want to stand there idly for so long on these exposed snow cornices! It looks so dangerous, no experienced high alpinist would do something like that, which the Everst tourists are forced to do because of their numbers.

I'm not a climber but I've always wondered how those snow cornices hold up under all the weight and vibration of hundreds of individuals. I understand it's more ice than snow but it's still hardly what I would consider structurally rated for large groups of people, especially over and over again. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before on Everest. I've heard of climbers falling when cornices collapse on other peaks and whenever I look at those long lines of people, I shiver and not because of how cold it is. While I have no dog in this fight, it would make sense to limit the number of people on the mountain at any given time but, as hurryingman9071 points out, money drives everything.

A big issue I see is that hardly anyone is carrying ice axes anymore. That one climber struggling in this video would have had a much easier time if he had one.

[FallenAngel]

It’s getting worse. Too many people. Government needs to stop taking money in, it’s an enormous amount of revenue but at this rate the Mountain will soon be a legend of death.

[kayla]

The Nepalese government needs to stop handing out as many permits as they do. This will be a repeating tragedy until they make the decision to limit the amount of permits allowed. RIP to those who will never leave Everest.

[andoreanesnomeo]

It’s become about as unique and prestigious as a trip to Starbucks. Queue up for a bagel … or the summit.

[PowerfulTruth]

All that effort and all that money to join a massive traffic jam of humanity, egos and questionable fitness at the top of the world. And 7 people this year alone that paid the ultimate price for their passion. Was it all worth it?

[Erdling]

Humans queing and hindering each other in the death zone on dangerous path.
The amount of people should be regulated.
The que to the summit reminds me on Lemmings. 💓🙏🏻💓

[mickhiggins]

I have no respect for these climbers, most of them are just tourists, it’s a big payday for the organisers.. then have the audacity to leave all their shit behind… leave the mountain alone… it’s not that bigger deal anymore climbing Everest…

[jerilynneberneche]

Some places on earth aren't meant for humans to destroy. Too many people....

[russell-dijs]

I'm glad i live in a Welsh village where such heavy footfall doesn't occur!! Looks a nightmare & the smell of Poo & swathes of litter in the camps makes me want to sing "men of Harlech"

[Ladybug-letv]

It's absolute madness to let so many people climb together because it increases the danger

World’s highest Garbage dump‼️
Congratulations to another sad World-Record of Mankind 👏🏼!!!.
All condolences & best wishes to the Sherpa’s & their families up there 🙏🏼‼️😔
PS: around the last week, they started to clean up the base-camp & they found two dead bodies and one skeleton … 😳 … and this only @ the main-camp (minimum height to start for all the peak-fevered & super rich weirdo’s) that’s so insane! 😞✌🏼🙏🏼

[marklafferty-xwds]

The garbage I seen on videos on the various camps on mountain was just abhorrent. It was so disgusting. The climbing teams need to be responsible for removing their garbage. If they do not show that their garbage has been removed they need to be fined and have all future privileges revoked. Safety is obviously not a concern with the lineups strung out on the mountain. The climbing community should work either way the government to come to a consensus on a max number of permits each climbing season.

[repeat_defender]

I always hope for no deaths, knowing full well there will be some. I'm obsessed with mountaineering, though I'm disabled and can't climb myself. Still, I don't think I would ever try for any of the highest/most technically difficult peaks. If there's a zero percent chance that nobody will die, that is too dangerous for me. If permits were limited though, and there were no more bottlenecks, and no more people climbing alone/without sherpa, I think most deaths would be avoided.
