Why can't you build a multi-lane divided highway to Everest base camp and then build a plexiglass enclosed heated road to the very top so people don't have to risk DYING to see the views?
>>
>>2843607
They could put a plexiglass enclosure on my gooch so you could have a great view of my balls
>>
>>2843607
The Chinese will do this eventually. Just give it time.
>>
>>2843613
But then you have all the fun of negotiating a Chinese border crossing and visa issues to access it.
>>
>>2843611
Kek gottem
>>
>>2843607
>see the views
Airplanes already exist.
>>
>>2843607
Because Nepal doesn't want millions of people on Everest.

You could also organize helicopter rides to the summit. Nepal doesn't want that either.
>>
>>2843655
Nepal and what army?
Build it, and they will come.
>>
>>2843613
China sees nature as something to be transformed and gawked at. There will be those escalator conveyor belts spanning mountain ranges so Chinese tourists can just stand and take photos as they glide through sensitive ecosystems. They'll just blow a hole through a mountain and have conveyor belts of people snapping photos start piling through. It'll be like some Dr Suess shit

That won't fix anything and it'll be impossible to maintain. The air above a certain altitude simply does not have enough oxygen to keep brain cells from dying. Also it's a fucking TERRIBLE idea for AMS. There's a reason it takes a month of prep to do everest.

Also stop making this garbage thread. You made one a week ago. At this point it's just AI bot spam.

quality thread anon

>>2843670
Who do you think is going to pay for the highway? How are you going to build a highway in a nation hostile to your construction?
>>
>>2843677
America. Armed guards. NATO goodwill force. Bribes.
>>
Yup. It's a nu-/out/ thread.
>>
>>2843613
Every US National Park is waiting to be privatized and be turned into monstrosities of nature like Grandfather mountain/Chimney Rock in NC
>>
>>2843677
I’ll bribe them.

You think the country known for carving their initials into priceless artifacts gives a shit about a mountain?
>>
>>2843709
the biggest issue there is the annoyingness of how limited their hours are tho I will say chimney rock having an elevator is NICE cuz there's still like uh 250 ish ft of steps to the very tippy top from the elevator
>>
>>2843671
>There will be those escalator conveyor belts spanning mountain ranges
you're supposed to make the ascent less dangerous, not more, anon

VGH...
>>
>>2843607
Avalanches.
>>
>>2843655
Helicopters don't work well at that altitude because the air is too thin. Only one helicopter flight to the summit has been successful and that was made by a highly experienced pilot in a heavily modified helicopter that couldn't carry more than him and barely enough fuel for the trip.
>>
>>2843673
Have you heard of airplanes.
>>
>>2843671
not too different from America.
>>
>>2843768
Yes. But if it became an industry there'd be enough money to perfect a helicopter that could do it regularly with a passenger.
>>
>>2843768
>>2843812
They've just recently started flying to Camp 3 (only for emergencies afaik but they couldn't do it all until a few years ago) so I guess things are gradually trending in that direction.
>>
>>2843739
couldn't you build a heating system that quickly melts off any snow or ice?
>>
>>2843607
They will build escalators or cable cars there eventually. This will solve the trash problem and prevent idiots from dying on a glorified hike.
>>
>>2843935
>eventually
why are they waiting
