By Palden Nyima in Lhasa | China Daily | Updated: 2019-01-21 07:41

The Tibet Mountaineering Team has been upgraded to the national level China Mountaineering Team (Tibet) and will perform large-scale cleanup activities this year. It marks the first time remains of mountaineering victims above 8,000 meters will be recovered on Qomolangma.

As part of the campaign, victims' remains will be brought down from the mountain when possible, according to Nyima Tsering, the team captain.

Moreover, the region plans to reduce by about one-third the amount of climbers permitted in 2019 on the northern slope of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, to better fight pollution.
