Online forums are flooded with almost incredible news from the slopes of Mount Everest. A group of Sherpas who fixed ropes on te “normal” route on Everest yesterday attacked Ueli Steck, Simone Shore and Jon Griffith. Three climbers were performed acclimatization climb to their camp 2, which is located at an altitude of 7200 meters. Here they met with a group of Sherpas, who have banned use their ropes that are just fixed for their clients. Steck, Moro and Griffith are thus move fifty yards away, so as not to interfere with Sherpas. On arrival in the tent they had to cross over fixed ropes. Obviously this was a very troubled leader Sherpa and developed verbal confrontation on the border of physical violence. Steck and Moro have unsuccessfully tried to calm the situation.

I remember my first unpleasant experience in 1989. when I was with Viki Grošelj climbed the “normal” route to the top of Mount Everest. Then we have some expedition leaders wanted to ban our climbing, because we have come too late, a month after all. On the end we climbed before all of an it destroyed the reputation of clients who have paid up to 75 000 dollars for the place on the highest peak of the world.
