The photograph showing a very long queue of climbers just approaching the Hillary step, below the summit, really surprised me.
I knew its become a very busy mountain, but i had no idea just how congested it has become.
Waiting in line, to reach the summit of Snowdon is one thing, but hanging around in the Death Zone, for what can be a very long time, just so that you can reach the summit of the highest point on earth.
Who is to blame ?, there's obviously such a great desire to reach the top, and such a small weather window every year to achieve it, that its inevitable lives will be put at risk, and too many fatalities will occur.
Seven climbers already this week, something must happen, and pretty soon, this in a totally unnecessary loss of life.
