While the government wants to increase the amount of people visiting each year, there are plans to put new rules on who is allowed to summit the worlds highest peak. i think requiring potential everest climbers to have previously climbed 6000 metre peaks is a great idea and also the guiding companies i think should be held to some standard. responsibility lies on the individual who is choosing to go to everest to ensure that they are properly prepared. i feel that the perception of the mountain ...

Held up those behind them, so the slowest person dictated the pace. fortunately, because our teams skill level was high enough, we could climb around people who were stuck. so we stayed on schedule, and got to the top, and came back down. i think something was lost there. it became all about whos going to get there, how fast, and what am i going to get out of that experience? and i suspect that it is only going to get worse in the future, unless there is an intervention. although the nepalese go...

Know, you have been up there? you know. with — you have been up there? you know, with everest, - you have been up there? ym. know, with everest, some people arrogantly say that if you want to break at the barbecue summit everest but if you want respect you summit k2. im not totally sure about that because i have done both of them and i respect anybody who attempts either of them. but in 2011, as you noted, k2 in 2014 when i was 58, it is night and a. k2 is incredibly steep, is technical. by in...

Feel like that at all — its vast, its open. if anyone is dreaming of climbing everest, i think they should do it. it is notjust a rich persons sport. they should start climbing peaks closer to home and work their way up, claiming bigger and bigger mountains with harder terrain, and eventually find their way to the top of the world. the sherpas in the everest region are ready for tourists to come. i really hope that the people who want to go and climb mount everest really understand the signifi...

I think something was lost there. it became all about whos going to get there, how fast, and what am i going to get out of that experience? and i suspect that it is only going to get worse in the future, unless there is an intervention. although the nepalese government collected £8,000 fee from foreign mountaineers, until now, there has been little regulation on tour operators or climber skill level. in the last 10 or 15 years, the peak has become more accessible to climbers with a lower skill ...

Now on bbc news... the travel show. this week on the travel show, whats in store for the year ahead? i think a phrase a lot of us can expect to hear in 2021 is "documents, please. " the worlds tallest mountain. i really hope that the people who want to go and climb mount everest really understand the significance of this mountain, the sacredness of this mountain. i thought id seen everything! and a detox that is not for the squeamish. wow, the visual of it is the most shocking part.

Very difficult, steep rock sections that you simplyjust don�*t have on the normal routes on everest. everest is all about altitude. k2 is all about technical climbing at altitude. we�*ve been reporting vivid snow scenes across europe these past few days. but on the other side of the planet, snow has also arrived, to the delight of four giant pandas in northeast china�*s shenyang city. they�*ve been having fun in the snow—blanketed zoo, playing with balls, rolling over in the snow or cl...
