[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 3245784, member: 688"] I've been to base camp (no mountaineering involved). From what I read the mountain is way "overbooked".Too much money to be made. There are multiple scandles associated with how things are being run. Permission to climb is 10K a head payable to the government. I'm sure the expedition costs are far above that. People climbing over dying climbers. Local Sherpa porters risking their lives, making extra trips across the unhighly unstable ice fall stretch to ferry confort/luxury items (chairs and table and luxury food) to the higher camps. Everest and the surrounding mountains are magnificent. But it is an overcrowded circus just getting to basecamp. Too popular. [/QUOTE]
