EVEREST: Investigation into Alleged Use of Helicopter to Partially Summit

by Bibbi Abruzzini KATHMANDU, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Experts from the mountaineering community have expressed fears that more affluent climbers will use helicopters to scale Mount Everest (Qomolangma) that could result in the commercialization of the ascent to the world's highest peak. This season Mount Everest would have been deserted if it wasn' t for Wang Jing who has become the first and probably the only climber to reach the summit.
