Kanchha Sherpa (夏尔巴人) is 91 years old now(2024). He was a member of the famous team of 35 to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma on May 29, 1953. The team was the first group to the top of the mountain. And Kanchha is the last surviving (幸存的) member of them.

Kanchha is furious at the state of the mountain now, saying it is now crowded and dirty. “They should not be dirtying the mountain. It is our biggest god and they should not be dirtying the gods,” said Kanchha. “Qomolangma is the biggest god for the Sherpas but people smoke and eat meat and throw rubbish on the mountain.”

Since Kanchha’s first climb, thousands have climbed up the world’s tallest mountain. More visitors come, and also some climbers live on the mountain for months at a time. They bring a lot of rubbish. That worries people. There are rules in place that climbers must clean up their own rubbish and equipment. But that doesn’t produce a successful result.

“It is very dirty now. People throw wrappings (包装材料) after eating food. Who is going to pick them up now?” said Kanchha. “It would be better for the mountain to reduce the number of climbers. Right now there is always a big crowd of people at the top of Qomolangma.”
