About 350 were able to descend by Monday, with the rest secured overnight Tuesday. Dozens of climbers rescued are now contending with hypothermia from the perilous trek, Chinese state media reported. Those who were flagged with illness were escorted to a meeting point by rescue teams who had prepared heating, medicine, food and oxygen supplies, according to the state Xinhua News Agency.
The chaos on the mountain erupted over the weekend as tourists celebrated the weeklong Golden Week holiday commemorating the start of the Chinese Communist Party’s rule on Oct. 1, 1949.

800 tourists on Everest? Just one day's worth? When I was a little kid climbing Everest was something that only the bravest and most fit could accomplish. Now climbing Everest reminds me of what Yogi Berra said about Lindy's restaurant on Broadway, "Nobody goes there anymore -it's too crowded."
