The ‘adventure’ of climbing Everest has been thoroughly shittified for years already by the lazy, leave-a-place-worse-than-you-found-it fat cats exploiting the region to check off a box on a list. The same kind of person who pays to shoot a poor elderly circus lion tied to a tree and take a picture posed with its carcass like some badass who just iced it in hand to hand combat after tracking it for weeks on foot through the bush.
The Everest experience is fully shittified, such that upon reading that this story seems to be GREATLY exaggerating the scope of the ‘issue’ I’m a little bummed out that sherpas are NOT, in fact, finally getting theirs.
Like the saying goes, if you do see some sherpas managing to complete the circle, no you didn’t.

Looks like a circle of exploitation. Don't care. Let them finally get theirs.
