K2 is a much harder climb.Over 5600 people have successfully climbed Everest. Only 306 have done K2. And it's a fraction of the cost. Having said that, surely the fact that so many people are doing it is an indicator that they could easily double the price of the permit.
I'm hopefully going to Nepal this year, but I'm not going anywhere near the top of a mountain.
I'm not being flippant here but is that a real photo or has it been Photoshoped? Also I understand about those with deep pockets wanting to climb to the top as it must be very expensive, but it cannot be that easy that there is a trail of climbers waiting their turn to get to the summit ?The Ant Middleton documentary highly gated this queuing thing he almost threw someone off to get down because they’ve got idiots up there with no climbing experience just deep pockets.
Into thin air was a great readThere are some fascinating books about how this has been over-commercialised. Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air gives good insight. It looks from this, and news reports, as though matters have got a whole lot worse recently.
