Everest: Chunk of glacier blocks route in peak climbing season

Everest isn't a particularly technical climb. It's kind of got a reputation of being a place where the rich can pay their way to the top of the mountain. The majority of Everest "mountaineers" are bored wealthy folks sometimes spending upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars to be guided up the mountain by teams of sherpas who are doing all of the difficult work. Don't get me wrong, it's still dangerous, and deaths can and do happen due to unpredictable weather, avalanches, and altitude sickness. That being said, only about 1% of the 600-800 climbers a year don't make it back down the mountain alive. That number is starting to increase though, largely due to the amount of inexperienced, out of shape climbers who take the "pay-to-win" approach without putting in the effort or training.

Nah Everest is just a sight seeing tour for rich folks cosplaying as adventurers these days.
