Eighty-year-old Yuichiro Miura, who began 2013 with his fourth heart operation, <br />recently became the oldest man to conquer Mount Everest.<br /><br />The sheer amount of thrill-seeking adventurers hoping to reach the highest point on earth has led mountaineers to complain the ascent to the summit has become too crowded.<br /><br />Some experienced climbers now even consider it too touristy, calling it a "McDonald's experience".<br /><br />The sizeable tourist industry that has developed over the last decade has led to complaints about littering and poor sanitation atop the mountain.<br /><br />The rapidly degrading Everest experience has led serious mountaineers to wonder what the future may hold for the once seemingly impossible ascent.
