Description

Explore the complex world of high altitude tourism through the lens of contemporary geographies. This Routledge publication examines the rapid evolution of mountaineering, starting from critical discussions held by the British Mountaineering Council in 1993 regarding the future of the industry. The text addresses the growing concerns surrounding Everest, including reports of massive queues and the social implications of what mountaineer Peter Boardman described as an "amphitheater of the ego." As interest in climbing Everest has surged, with record numbers of climbers reaching the summit in recent years, this book investigates the environmental and social responsibilities tied to the sport. It looks at the necessity for regulations to minimize impacts as participation in mountaineering tourism escalates. This work provides a deep look into the management and distribution of leisure and mobility within the climbing community, offering essential context for understanding the modern landscape of high altitude expeditions.
