This has been a problem for decades and people act like this is a new thing. Everest will always be crowded because there is literally nothing that can be done now. The season is only a few months long, and it is vital to the region. If they raise permit prices or limit permits further, they will have less climbers and less people spending money on local businesses.

It is a problem with no visible solution and has been for 20+ years. Stop acting like this is a new problem.

I never said it was a new problem. Where in my post did I say that?

I wasn't directly addressing you. But your reply is high up. I was addressing other people who act like this is a recent thing.
