A photograph showing a traffic snarlon the route up to the Mount
Everest summit has jolted the public, suggesting that a once great
milestone in human endeavour is in terminal decline in the selfie
era. By some accounts climbing Everest has become so common-
place that, aided by technology, even over the hill climbers-not
to speak of wayfarers-are clamberingon to the summit duringa
narrow window, causing a backup so eloquently captured in a photo.
Some years ago a Swedish climber bicycled from Stockholm to Kathmandu,
soloed Everest without sherpa oroxygen, and bicycled back to Stockholm-alla
few weeks work. For good measure he returned with his girlfriend to do it
again. Doubtless, in time, one can expect to see an Everest mall with a
McDonald's Golden Arch (or a desi corner store), ATMs, motels with lookouts,
etc atleast at base camp. Already, there is said to be sickening debris en route to
the summit that requires periodic clean-up.
Up until a century ago Everest was considered insurmountable, the last
word in high adventure. Asked why he was so determined to climb Everest, the
legendary British climber George Mallory drolly observed, “because it's
there". But the man who launched three assaults on the highest peak in the
world never made it to the summit, the mountain swallowing him and
a teammate 245 metres from the pinnacle in a 1924 accident. It kept
their bodies in its bosom till 1999, when they were retrieved. When
Hillary and Tenzing finally cracked the summit 66 years ago this
week in 1953, the great middle distance runner Roger Bannister, who ran the
first sub four-minute mile a year later, joked “It's amazing that more people
have climbed Everest than have broken the four-minute mile."
That 2-to-1 ratio has expanded slightly: some 1,400 men have now broken the
four-minute mile barrier compared to some 4,000 who have conquered Everest.
But no one ever dies trying to break the four-minute barrier. In contrast,
the mountain Nepalese call Sagarmatha and Tibetan call Chomolungma,
continues to take lives-nearly 300 atlast countincluding eight this week-even
amid traffic chaos, and now because of it. With Everest resting on its turf, the
Nepal government has to share some of the blame since it milks the location to
fillits coffers, perhaps issuing too many permits. From being an adventure that
was as old as the hills for mankind, it's now downhill all the way​
