The Happiness Quotient

Climbers Fall From Mount Everest and Disappear Because Of Overcrowding


Listen Later

Years ago Mount Everest was considered a mountaineer’s mountain, where a climber need only worry most about avalanches, hidden crevasses and the potential to succumb to Altitude Mountain Sickness.

But now, something far more hazardous and life-threatening exists on the world’s highest peak. Mount Everest is quickly becoming an EXTREMELY dangerous mountain because of overcrowding.

In this video we'll learn just how Everest has become so dangerous in recent years, site some examples, then offer ways to make the mountain safer.
