Climber sent home from Everest |
DUBLIN, IRELAND(Team Geared Up) The first climber from the South side of everest has been sent packing after authorities found a Tibetan flag on the man. The banner was found on the man at B.C. Earlier this week Nepalese soldiers had been given the authorization that they are allowed to shoot protesters on Everest. It is certainly going to be an ‘memorable’ season to be on Everest.
From MountEverest.net:
The mountaineer has been footed from the peak after police found a Tibetan flag on him. The American reportedly joined permit with the Everest ECO expedition, led by Dawa Sherpa whose dad Ang Tshering owns the popular climbing agency Asian Trekking. The American climber has not been named and is probably just sharing the team’s Everest climbing permit.
It’s not clear if he flew it or if he was searched for it. The officials immediately told the mountaineer to pack up and currently enroute back to Kathmandu; to many this American is coming home a hero.

This is crazy stuff. It sounds like it was on the south side of the mountain (Nepal).. didn’t realise there were restrictions there too.
