Is there border control on Mt. Everest?
The international border between Nepal and Chinese-controlled Tibet runs through Mount Everest, which is reportedly getting crowded due to the large number of climbers (who mainly ascend the Nepali side).
Have there been problems with climbers (accidentally) crossing into the Chinese-controlled summit area or (deliberately) making the more difficult descent down the Chinese side without a visa? If one wishes to cross between countries at this point, is it possible to do so legally?
