The last surviving member of the first team to conquer Mount Everest has expressed concerns over the current state of the mountain, describing it as crowded and dirty, and emphasized that the mountain is a god that needs to be respected. This sentiment has been echoed across multiple news outlets, highlighting the issue's significance. In response to these concerns, Nepalese authorities have announced plans to crack down on the excessive luxuries brought to base camp, such as flatscreen TVs, coffee machines, and sofas, aiming to reduce the clutter and preserve the mountain's sanctity. The measures also include a ban on items like yoga tents, as part of efforts to manage the waste and overcrowding that have plagued Everest in recent years.
