☆ Everest climbers will have to take their poop away with them, as Nepal tries to address growing waste problem
  + stars: | 2024-03-25 | by ( Amy Woodyatt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
Poop bags?… Check. Most people who attempt to climb the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) Mount Everest do so via Nepal, paying $11,000 apiece just for the climbing permit. But the world’s highest peak has a poop problem, driven by the number of visitors, and the harsh conditions on the mountain, which interfere with the degradation process. Twelve climbers were confirmed to have died on the mountain, while another five remain officially missing. Jinesh Sindurakar of the Nepal Mountaineering Association told CNN that an estimated 1,200 people will be on Everest this season.

A Sherpa fell on Carlos Soria, injuring his tibia, a message posted on his behalf on his Twitter and Facebook accounts said. The climber, who was on his 15th attempt on Mt Dhaulagiri, was preparing to make a push for the summit when the incident occurred, the Himalayan Times newspaper said. Sherpa guides were bringing him down to base camp, for him to be evacuated to Kathmandu by helicopter, Guragai added. Soria has successfully climbed 12 of the world's 8,000-metre peaks and had the Dhaulagiri and Tibet's Shishapangma left to become the oldest climber to reach the summits of the planet's 14-highest peaks.

A Nepali sherpa guide climbed Mount Everest for the 26th time on Sunday, hiking officials said, becoming the world’s second person to achieve the feat. Pasang Dawa Sherpa, 46, stood atop the 8,849-m (29,032-ft) peak, sharing the record number of summits with Kami Rita Sherpa, said Bigyan Koirala, a government tourism official. Kami Rita, who is also climbing on Everest now, could set another record if he makes it to the top. “They are descending from the top now and are in good shape,” the official, Dawa Futi Sherpa, told Reuters. Nepal has issued a record of 467 permits this year for foreign climbers seeking to reach the summit of Everest.
