Nepal Proposes Stricter Everest Climbing Permit Rules

Nepal is thinking about a new rule that says climbers must first climb a 7,000-meter peak in Nepal before they can try to climb Mount Everest.

This rule is meant to make sure climbers are more prepared and to reduce accidents.

However, it will make climbing Everest more expensive and harder for some climbers, especially those who have already climbed high peaks in other countries.

Experts say that while this rule might help, it's also important to focus on other things like technical skills and experience in tough conditions.

Right now, one of the biggest problems on Everest is too many climbers at once, which can be dangerous.
