Be kind to yourself this year. Go to my sponsor https://zocdoc.com/everestmystery and find the awesome care you deserve for FREE. I want to start with a number: 31,797 kilograms. That is the amount of human waste that was removed from Mount Everest in the spring of 2025. One season. One mountain. Can anyone save Everest? That question has never felt more urgent than right now. With the Tibet side closed, record numbers of climbers heading for the summit, and a waste crisis decades in the making — 2026 is the year that puts everything to the test. Here's what's really at stake. **THANK YOU TO OUR CAMP FOUR SPONSORS HERE AND ON PATREON**: Barbedwire Henriette Pi Mike Nicholson Tom McLeod Geoff (mountain climber) Ursula Dimberger Noelle Dud13y This video discusses new regulations for climbing Mount Everest, requiring climbers to first ascend a 7,000m peak in Nepal. It highlights significant environmental concerns and the potential impact of climate change on the mountain. These changes could alter the appearance of Mount Everest, addressing issues like pollution and ensuring a more sustainable future for mountaineering.
