Interesting program.

Sadly seems not much will change this year.

It's easy to think, from the comfort of the lounge room, they should reduce the number of permits (and I do).

Unfortunately the reality is there are 1000s of Nepalese that are dependent on the Everest climbing operators for their economic survival.
