The final ascent was broadcast live on China’s national TV, with a Tibetan woman taking the Olympic torch at the last steps to the top of Everest.

    Well, I assumed the pics are from the peak. Not really sure if those are trashes or flags… but Everest is indeed infamous for being the world’s highest dumpsite with mountaineering equipments and wastage being dumped all over the place.
