U.N.

The number of climbers from Western countries like U.S. and Europe has decreased, but Asian climbers have increased.<\/p>\n<p>Mount Everest, which straddles along the Nepal-China border, can be climbed from both sides. China, however, has closed its route this year, leaving all climbers to make their attempt from Nepal on the south side of the peak.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of people have climbed the peak since it was first scaled on May 29, 1953, by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=1891\">Why Trump\u2019s affordability push is stalling ahead of midterm elections<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds of climbers are attempting to scale Mount Everest despite high costs and an unstable ice block on the key trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
