Ameesha Chauhan, a survivor of the Everest 'traffic jam' who is in hospital recovering from frostbite, said climbers without basic skills should be barred to prevent a recurrence of this year's deadly season on the world's highest peak
Ameesha Chauhan, a survivor of the Everest"traffic jam" who is in hospital recovering from frostbite, said climbers without basic skills should be barred to prevent a recurrence of this year's deadly season on the world's highest peak.
The 29-year-old Indian had to wait 20 minutes to come down from the 8,848-metre peak, but others were held up for hours. This year's Everest toll is the highest since 2014-15 when huge earthquakes triggered devastating avalanches. Another climber, the"adventure filmmaker" Elia Saikaly, posted on Instagram on Sunday that he had reached the summit of Everest and"cannot believe what I saw up there".
Nepal's permits this season cost $11,000 each, providing the impoverished Himalayan country with much-needed foreign currency.Although final numbers are yet to be released with the season set to wrap up this week, this could take the total past last year's record of 807 people reaching the summit.
