Adam Ruins Everything - How Tourists Turned Mount Everest into a Dump | truTV

I like that last line. Adam didn't ruin anything, people ruined everything and then Adam talked about it.

forgot to mention the pile of empty oxygen tanks left behind once empty.

Such a shame that Zach isn’t getting the recognition he deserves.

This is why we can’t have nice things

Simply shameful. And here I thought that those mountaineers that climbed Everest respected the People and the Mountain. Man, was I wrong.

"Trash Covered Poop Coffin" I must memorize this. I'm not sure when I'll use it, but I'm sure it will come in handy someday.

"People, ruin, EVERYTHING!!!" Yyyyyyup, couldn't have said it better myself.

If I had a nickel for everytime Zach played someone that climbed Mount Everest, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.

I saw a documentary on this. The local people that used to farm the lands near the mountain can't anymore. Like he said, the water and land is so bad, they have to get food from an outside source. Also, not only does the government allow people to climb in large groups, but companies are in charge of the expeditions that take people up there. Treating them with the least bit of effort and sometimes luxury. The locals (Sherpa) are hired by these companies to not only map out the paths, but carry all luggage that will be needed for a groups expedition. So that groups only worries is the climb alone. Many Sherpa’s have died, not only from the weight they carry. But the terrain in some places changes dramatically daily. They are the ones who put their lives on the line for the safety of others. And the pay they get for their troubles, is nothing compared to what we would pay our people for the same job. Manny of the people who stay in the village are only there for the job. Because they lack the education to leave for a better life. Yes, there is more to this story and I didn't even cover it all. However I didn't know about the urine and feces on the mountain. And you also need to keep in mind, this is just one part of a larger show. This wasn't everything they talked about for that episode. One segment has a lot of info to take in, but the whole show has a beginning, middle and end. I don't even know if the next thing they’d talk about would be how each part is bad. It could have been the beginning of the show even. I’m just upset with what I found out (before this) about the tourism of Everest. The exploiting of the locals and their way of life. A government that doesn't look after their people first. And businesses taking advantage of others. This shows how desperate, bad, manipulative, and corrupt people can be.

Oh! There goes my plans to climb Everest!

They missed the opportunity to say it's "Nepalling"! Damnit

Not the worst thing to happen to Zach at the summit of Everest. #rexbosworth

There are plenty of high mountains to die on. If you're into the death zone, there are plenty of options.

If the coldest, highest point on Earth has turned into a tourist trap, where the heck can someone go to live in perfect solitude?

Thank you for shedding light on this. Been saying all this for years. Goddamn entitled rich people.

I love how this is being recommended to me after the long queues on Everest blew up on the news recently

Add the crowding of people and professional climbers who are the ones dying.

Don't forget the amount of deaths caused this year is because the amount of people going up is clogging the path down.

Coming at you from 2019 when another 10 people just died on Everest lining up to get to the summit and running out of oxygen.
