They may be linked to climbing Mount Everest for this condition
Himalayas are visited by many every year to conquer the 8,849 meter peak of Mount Everest. Because of its popularity The death zone of the mountain is also crowdedwhere the amount of natural oxygen is not sufficient for survival. Last year, a total of 478 climbing licenses were issued and 12 lost their lives during climbing and five disappeared. According to critics, there are too many inexperienced attempts, which are dangerous not only to themselves but also to others.
But this can now end Nepal, according to a new bill Only those who have already proven a 7,000 -meter mountain peak within Nepal can be licensed. In addition – writes the Cnn. The bill is already in front of the Upper House of the National Council, the Nepalese Parliament, where the ruling coalition has a comfortable majority – so it is likely to go through.
Many people criticize the tightening
The decision did not win everyone. According to international expedition organizers, the conditions are too narrow: it is recommended that not only Nepal peaks count, but any mountain that reaches or approximates a height of 7,000 meters – such as Argentine Aconcagua, Alaska Denali or Ama Dablam Nepal.
Why is it so big and how it will be even bigger? The secret of the Mount Everest
According to Lukas Furtenbach, head of the expedition firm of the Austrian Furtenbach Adventures, it is also problematic that only Nepalese mountain leaders could accompany the climbing because there is not enough skilled Nepali mountain leaders.
Garrett Madison, the founder of Madison Mountaineering, could give a 6,500 -meter peak enough experience, especially if we consider that many climbable 7,000 tips are not popular or too difficult to access.
Nepal last year tightened on the conditions. Before the 2024 Mount Everest season, it was introduced that every mountaineer had to rent and use a tracking chip on his way.
