    I rather liked the solar powered escalator comment on Neptune Mountaineering's FB post. It's all a bit farcical, the Nepalese are destroying their best-known asset for the sake of filthy lucre.

    So if someone skips the queue a fight may start.

    I think they should build a tram so everyone can get to the top. It isn't right to deprive the summit to those who could not otherwise get to it.

    @ Mags – Which reminds me, at what temperature would yak's milk boil atop Everest to make that mochachino?

    @ Stephen – I can just see it, every country would be clamouring for Most Favoured Nation status, to have their team on the first six rungs of the ladder. Forget frequent flier programs, this would be the one to aspire to… Perhaps we should send the entire TSA over there to police it :-)

    I can just picture it, a fully body scan as punters leave base camp and no liquids under 100ml.

    I guess the ice fall has been laddered every season for decades.Sure makes it quicker to get through it.Everest is hardly a clean climb.More like a zoo of line of least resistance yupppy sloggers. : – )
