No solo Mount Everest expeditions anymore as Nepal government issues revised mountaineering regulations

Mount Everest expedition regulations: The Nepal government, in its revised mountaineering regulations, has formally ended solo expeditions on Mount Everest as well as other peaks above 8,000 meters. The changes, which kicked in on Tuesday, have made one mountain guide mandatory for two climbers. The current changes, published in the Nepal Gazette, are the sixth amendment to the Mountaineering Regulation. Notably, the previous rule underscored that one mountain guide was sufficient for a group of climbers scaling mountains above 8,000 meters.
