Decades after a deadly 1996 storm, Everest is basically an ATM for tourists, not a mountain. "274 climbers reached the summit in a single day," turning it into a crowded, risky theme park. Experts warn that overcrowding and inexperience now threaten lives more than weather. With climbs like these, climbing Everest is less about daring and more about cash and selfies. The article highlights how tech advances, better weather forecasting, and local guides have improved safety, but corruption, shortcuts, and climate change are turning it into a literal traffic jam at 8,849 meters. Even with increased safety measures, the real danger seems to be idiots with cash in hand, thinking they’re ready for a mountain monster that can kill even pros. Basically, Everest’s new season is a mix of thrill, disaster, and overpriced mundane hiking. Who knew a mountain could become the world's tallest amusement park?
