NEPAL, May 2, 2026 (YouTube): There’s no particular religious aspect to this video, but we found it fascinating. The report says, “Your money might not be enough to climb Mount Everest anymore. In 2026, Nepal has turned Mount Everest into a high-stakes legal battleground where one missing electronic chip or a late arrival at the summit can end your climbing career forever. For decades, this peak was a playground for the rich, but a massive new ‘Entrance Test’ has disqualified hundreds of people who haven’t already climbed a seven-thousand-meter mountain. With the Tibet side locked and every climber on Earth pushed into one narrow corridor, the situation is a ticking time bomb. Right now, a building-sized block of ice is hanging over the route, threatening to end the season with a massive catastrophe. We are entering a new era where reaching the top of the world will never be the same again.” The report also details the massive efforts by the Nepal government to clean up the mountain’s base camps and routes, including the use of heavy lift drones to remove garbage down and haul supplies up.
