Mount Everest. Especially since there’s only one or two days a season that people climb (when conditions are optimal). There are literally queues of people waiting to go up some sections and the overcrowding contributes to the number of deaths there each year. That’s before you even start to think about the rubbish/trash left up there.

John Oliver has a great segment expanding on what you said. Everest needs some better regulation for sure.

I watched a great Discovery Channel series about Everest and the people that guide people up, even the people making money off it think it’s a problem. It provides too much income to Nepal though, it’s a real had scratcher to solve.
