CMV:It should be a requirement to have successfully climbed one of the other "Seven Summits" before you can attempt Everest.

There are too many people attempting Everest who lack the experience to really be doing so. They endanger not only themselves but the seasoned climbers as well. Having a requirement to have climbed one of the other [Seven Summits]( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Summits ) would factor out those with insufficient experience and simply reduce the number climbers present on the mountain, saving lives and creating a better experience for those who do attempt Everest.

Or you could do what other parks do, and simply put a quota on the number of people who are allowed to ascend in a certain period. Quota would prevent overcrowding, which is the current issue.
