Everest rope queue videos expose climber congestion, ‘ego tourism’ decried

Share this article

Messy, dangerous and crowded: Videos expose the the true south face of Everest. Photo / Instagram, Everester.Raj; Tenzi Sherpa

As Everest climbing season enters full swing, the week began with the news of two deaths and two climbers missing but one of the most depressing scenes was witnessed on the mountain’s South Col.

On Monday, May 20, Indian mountaineer Rajan Dwivedi shared his views of a frantic push for camp 4 near the summit .

The explorer, who had been planning his expedition for 10 years, said the climb brought “mixed feelings”.

Filming the fixed ropes on Yellow Bands - named for the striped limestone steps on the Lhotse Face - he shared the pitifully slow progress.

In a viral Instagram post, Rajan showed hundreds of mountaineers in summit suits, roped in and going nowhere.

“I saw many climbers in quite precarious situation hanging on the rope and their Sherpas struggling to pull them down,” he wrote.

In an update on May 21 he described seeing climbers in a “sleepy/zombie state”.

“They were shaking and crying causing a traffic jam.”

The string of mountaineers is the kind of phenomenon that has been causing mountaineers to rethink climbing Everest.

After a condensed summit window in 2019 caused similar conditions, which were captured in a photo as “Traffic Jam on Everest”, some have said Everest is too busy.

UK author Iain Cameron dubbed it the “worst kind of adventure capitalism”.

In a response shared via social media site X, glaciologist and researcher Cameron said it was not a mountain on his list.

“I’m fit and able and could probably afford it but I have zero desire to do so.”

Others described it as “ego tourism”, saying they couldn’t believe people would spend tens of thousands of dollars to freeze in a queue.

Poor visibility and a high-altitude rescue have caused a long rope queues down on approach to the summit this week.

On Tuesday six climbers fell on the mountain after a cornice collapsed.

A thin layer of ice just below the “Hillary Step” gave way, sending them tumbling down, Outside magazine reported.

While the rescue operation slowed climbs to a crawl, two of the six were still missing, unaccounted for.

On Wednesday the Himalayan Times named the missing men as Daniel Paul Peterson, 40, from the UK and Nepali Pas Tenji Sherpa, 23.

The confirmed deaths brings the confirmed fatality total to five for the 2024 season.

Last week two Mongolian mountaineers died on their descent from the summit, and on Monday a Romanian climber Gabriel Tabara was found dead at camp 3.

Dirty, dangerous and crowded: What is Everest really like

With an increasing number of permits and operators, the impact of mountain tourism is being felt by all on the way to Everest.

Ealrier this year Kanchha Sherpa, 91, the last surviving member of the 1953 Tenzing and Hillary expedition , said that the mountain was more messy and crowded than he imagined.

“It is very dirty now. People throw tins and wrappings after eating food. Who is going to pick them up now?” Kanchha told Associated Press. “Some climbers just dump their trash in the crevasse, which would be hidden at that time but eventually it will flow down to base camp as the snow melts and carries them downward.”

Last year mountain guide Tenzi Sherpa described arriving at camp 2 as a disgrace.

“The dirtiest camp I have ever seen,” the Nepali mountaineer called it. He called on the Nepalese Tourism Ministry to “punish” high-altitude litterbugs.

The high number of climbers tackling Everest each season is often blamed on greedy expedition companies.

Journalist and author of Everest Inc . Will Cockrell says getting to the summit has “stopped being a mountaineering challenge and started becoming a guiding challenge”.

Although the guiding industry and mountaineering tech has lowered the entry ( and raised the price) of a climb, it isn’t any easier than it was in 1953.

“Everest stretches everyone to their limit. They may not be able to do what Reinhold Messener did at his limit [climbing solo without supplemental oxygen] but they are being challenged,” Cockrell told the Herald .

However, the seasoned climber is not sure if he would climb Everest today.

“I’ve been a mountaineer most of my adult life. I don’t know if I could climb Everest.”

Now he thinks he never will.

When does Fortnite downtime end and Chapter 5 Season 3 release?

Share All sharing options for: When does Fortnite downtime end and Chapter 5 Season 3 release?

Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite , formally called Wrecked , appears to be focused on using huge vehicles to get around a desert wasteland.

Hot on the w-heels of a Greek methology-themed season , Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 will also feature a Fallout crossover .

We’ll break down the expected release times for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 (based on your time zone) and explain when Fortnite downtime is supposed to end . You’ll also get a summary of what to expect from the new Fortnite season.

What time does Fortnite downtime end and Chapter 5 Season 3 release in your time zone?

Update (May 24): Following some down time, we’re live! If you’re just diving in, here’s the list of Chapter 5 Season 3 battle pass skins , a rundown of map and weapon pool loot changes , details about the Magneto skin release date , and an explainer on how to mod vehicles .

Original story follows...

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is set to launch on Friday, May 24 , at the same time around the world. Based on the launch times of previous seasons, we can make a strong educated guess for when Fortnite will go down and come back up again.

Server downtime typically starts around 2 or 3 a.m. EDT and typically last about four hours, give or take. That means we can reasonably expect Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 to go live at the following times depending on your time zone:

• 1 a.m. - 4 a.m. PDT for the west coast of North America
• 4 a.m. - 7 a.m. EDT for the east coast of North America
• 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. BST for the U.K.
• 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. CEST for western Europe/Paris
• 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. JST on Japan/Tokyo

What to expect in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

So far, the known quantities for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 are the name (“Wrecked”) and the much-ballyhooed Fallout collaboration, which will see you get your hands on some Power Armor. Whether this is an item or a skin is yet to be confirmed, but you can briefly see it in action in the following embedded post on X:

Elsewhere, an official teaser trailer suggests a sandstorm will bring about an apocalyptic desert theme:

Meanwhile, the Fortnite X account teased the possibility of a new bus, replete with video footage of a (real) monster truck jumping over a (real?) bus. This dovetails with what longtime Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR (who has a sturdy track record for this sort of thing) said on X : that monster trucks are coming to Fortnite as of Chapter 5 Season 3.

Tying into all of the above, datamines from the HYPEX account on X suggest “sand landmarks” or a dedicated desert biome, as well as a steam train makeover for the map’s snaking locomotive.

There’s also the suggestion of collaborations with Metallica, Fall Guys, and Pirates of the Caribbean. That said, based on the game’s track record, take these tie-ins with a pinch of salt — and if they do appear, could be in non-battle royale modes, and / or will appear later in the season.

SEASON 3 INFO & LEAKS SO FAR • THEME & DATE: Post-Apocalyptic / May 24th • COLLABS: Metallica, Fall Guys, Pirates of the Caribbean & More.. • UI UPDATES: Each item in the shop will have its own timer • Lead-up Mini Event with a huge sandstorm & lightning • Sand Landmarks… pic.twitter.com/r40pYAPMnV — HYPEX (@HYPEX) May 13, 2024

There’s plenty to look forward to then. The other thing of note — and this is pure speculation on our part — is the season launches day-in-date with Furiosa , making it primed for a possible Mad Max crossover. There has been no indication of that so far (from developer Epic Games or otherwise) but we’d be surprised if that doesn’t appear at some point.

The next level of puzzles.
