FILE — Tourists in Kathmandu's Thamel neighborhood in Nepal, May 5, 2018. After the 2019 season ended, Nepal's government announced robust safety rules intended to weed out inexperienced climbers, reduce the number of people on Everest and prevent another pileup, which was blamed for some of the 11 deaths in 2019. But now, the government says the new rules will not be imposed for the coming climbing season, which begins in April and lasts through May. (Lauren DeCicca/The New York Times)
