It reminds me of...The Nose of El Cap on a nice spring day.
Too much waiting to go for your pitch. Not for me.

Very much over-ratedif you ask me. Because its there?
Well, what if it wasn't there; would we indeed
dream that it WAS there ???
I gave it the 10/10 (anyway) for effort.

SuperbA great photo under difficult conditions. Despite the crowds, I think would be absolutely amazing to climb that ridge and look over Lhotse and Nuptse. Well done.

Oh hum!I can see that climbing Everest is no longer an exceptional achievement. In good weather, the summit must be awefully crowded. It is hardly worth the struggle. I think I'll save my $65,000 and spend it on good car.

Re: Oh hum!or climb LOTS of 7000´s (meters) mountains nearby.

With thatmany climbers, I think the Nepalese ought to build a hut on the South Col, and stock it with a lot of oxygen, fuel and food (flown in per helicopter, that's what they use in the Alps now). That might save a lot of lives if the weather suddenly goes bad. Also, since most people climb the mountain by means of a fixed rope laid out by Sherpas anyway, they might as well take the next step and fix a permanent steel wire all the way (making it the worlds' highest ferrata). There are always the other routes for people who consider this too tame!

wowpretty amazing photo - I had to really look closely to actually see the long line to the summit. Congratulations to you for doing it. I have never been close to that high but I can imagine the effort and stamina it took to get there

Nice picA little crowded for me. Not to take anything away from those who have climbed Everest. Looks like a freeway.

Sad but true.Image is great, but is sad to see HUGE quantities of people there. I can imagine the tons of "trash and shit" = money.

ewwwwwThis photo is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
It also shows why I have no interest in climbing Everest - how can you have a real mountain experience in this environment when you're surrounded by people?! I thought waiting in lines was something you left back in civilization.

Very nice photoI think most people have dissdain for Everest because of the commercialism and the cost. Saying it's not a relavant climb or it's easy or there's not much to it I think is a bit of a joke. Everything I've read and seen is it's still a technical climb in many areas, altitude obviously plays a part and if it were like some here say it is, then why have some of the best climbers not summited? It's an impressive climb. Again, nice photo.
