The Spin

Climate change is turning Everest into a death trap with melting glaciers creating unstable routes and unpredictable weather patterns. Rising temperatures are causing massive ice loss, rendering the Khumbu Icefall increasingly unreliable while also increasing rockfall and avalanche risks throughout the region.

Everest's real problem isn't climate change, but overcrowding and poor management that have turned the sacred mountain into a polluted tourist destination. With 900 climbers creating traffic jams and leaving tons of trash, the mountain needs permit limits and higher fees to control reckless commercialization.
