Traffic jam of climbers on everest

So well, that's the headline now, there is apparently a "traffic jam" of 150 climbers going up Mount Everest , mostly due to in a break in the weather and they are spotting lots of dead climbers, about 4 or so apparently about the place along the way. Well go up the tallest mountain and there's bound to be a risk, considering there's very little oxygen up there. Hopefully they don't leave all their trash up there, or at their camp bases...
