It is bizarre to me that we are living in a time when there is enough climbers for there to be a queue on that mountain.
Tonnes of hikes and Parks around Vancouver now require a pass to enter in order to control the crowds. My partner and I refer to this as "nature's full". It really sucks.
Despite how much I love traveling, tourism is a plague. At least when uncontrolled
There are 8 billions of us and it's a world famous mountain infamous for killing a lot of those who try ascending it.
I would have loved to try climbing it if I had the resources and it weren't for the fact I'd probably die if I tried it.
