Mount Everest will not be open to all climbers anymore, as the Nepalese authorities are implementing restrictions based on the experience of the climber.

Inexperienced climbers will not be allowed from scaling the mountain anymore. This is being done to avoid fatalities -- which most times involve death -- that have cast a dark shadow on the reputation of the region. Every year there are stories of aspirational climbers succumbing to the extreme conditions and this could be chalked up to their inexperience.

Kripasur Sherpa, Nepal's tourism minister, spoke to The Guardian about the decision.

"We cannot let everyone go on Everest and die. If they are not physically and mentally fit it will be like a legal suicide," he said. "The disabled or visually impaired people usually need someone to carry them, which is not an adventure. Only those who can go on their own will be given permission."

Another reason for this decision has to do with overcrowding. During the right season there is an influx of climbers, and this does put the risk of the climber at risk, Junko Tabei, a veteran climber, revealed to The Guardian.

"Allowing a large number of climbers in a season poses high risks to the mountain environment and the climbers as well," she said.

Mohan Krishna Sapkota, the acting secretary of the tourism ministry also spoke about how it was important to maintain the image of Mount Everest as being a glorious summit. To achieve this it was important to not tarnish its reputation by keeping the number of fatalities and deaths while scaling the mountain in check.

"The Everest summit should be dignified and an issue of glory, so for that the ministry is working on introducing some limits," Sapkota said.
