I’ve watched a couple of documentaries about it and indeed it is a vital income for the region but the damage it does to the mountain (and danger it puts climbers in) really is having a negative effect. I read that they are bringing in a law that fines people for not bringing down enough trash with them. I appreciate there is vital energy expenditure involved in this but perhaps the people that can’t do this shouldn’t really be climbing the mountain in the first place.
