Kanchha Sherpa, a member of the team that first conquered Mount Everest over seven decades ago, has expressed worries about the current situation on the mountain. At 91 years old, Kanchha was part of the historic 1953 expedition that saw Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reach the summit of the world's highest peak.
Mount Everest, standing at 29,032 feet, attracts a significant number of climbers and tourists each year. The recent spring season saw 667 successful summit attempts, along with a large support staff at base camp. However, Kanchha is troubled by the increasing crowds at the summit and the environmental impact left behind by careless climbers.
