I was reading the Grand Union Canal Run pages on Facebook tonight and one of my fellow runners (Brian New) wrote this:
"Listening
on the radio tonight they were saying that there is a real risk of
"overcrowding" on Everest - 150 people climbed it this weekend alone.
Apparently there are now over 3,250 people who have climbed to the top of
Everest. That means that more people have climbed Everest than have
completed the GUCR. Just remember that people - we're still a select
club :)
Also there are over 200 dead bodies of climbers on the mountain as they are often left where they die -
Dick hasn't had to make that call just yet :)"


Have you seen the news? Several people just died on Everest. This is a very difficult season because of dry winter, there is not enough snow and there are dangerous rock slides. Some expeditions decided to fogo the summit attempt.
