IMO, it seems that they (these companies) really don't care about the welfare of these climbers. Countless people have died trying to conquest deadly Everest. The Nepal gov't said that they are implementing a system to address this issue but I guess that isn't happening as more climbers (experienced or not) are flocking to get a taste of the deadly summit and they are still being welcomed. Looking at the article photo, the traverse looks so crowded indeed. Sad.
