Kathmandu, Nepal (AHN) - Nepalese authorities say they are already tired of countless acts of nudity on Mount Everest and are taking drastic measures to stop disgraceful acts on the world's highest mountain.
Tsering Sherpa , head of Nepal's official mountaineering body, said, "People taking their clothes off and so on, these kind of things we are trying to stop."
"It's disrespectful. The mountains are sacred, they are part of our religion." Sherpa continued.
Last year, a local climber sparked outrage after he claimed the world's highest display of nudity when he stripped his clothes and stood naked for several minutes on the 29,198-foot summit.
Another incident happened earlier this year, when a Dutch man attempted to set a bizarre world record by being the first to climb the peak while wearing only shorts.
The joke among Nepali mountaineers is that the only record left to be set on the mountain is to give birth at the summit.
