Steve Miller Sets world Record with Backflip on Mount Everest today. At the same time his physical feat has earned laurels. But on the side it has sparked  a debate over how Mt Everest has become a circus show raising concern over  ecological degradation of this world's highest mountain...

Steve Miller, dubbed the "perfect cowboy," has stunned the world by performing a backflip at the summit of Mount Everest, 29,032 feet above sea level, after taking a dose of oxygen.

His daring stunt has gone viral on social media, drawing both awe and criticism. 

Miller's backflip, captured on camera by Devon Levesque, has been lauded as a new world record: the highest altitude backflip ever performed and the first on the summit of Everest.

Reflecting on his feat, Miller shared, "At this moment in time, the world was spinning below me.

This was after 72 hours of climbing and no sleep... you can imagine how the legs and body feel."

While many have celebrated Miller's achievement, others have pointed out the increasing commercialization and circus-like atmosphere of Everest expeditions.

There are virtual climbers jams on the way to the Everest every now and then. 

Critics argue that climbing Everest has become accessible to anyone with enough money, often bypassing the physical and mental rigors traditionally associated with the climb.

Helicopter rides to the summit for those who can afford it have become more common, further diluting the challenge of the ascent.

Moreover, the environmental impact of such expeditions cannot be ignored.

The mountain is being littered with filth and trash left behind by climbers, exacerbated by trekking groups failing to clean up after themselves.

This has sparked a broader debate about the responsibility of climbers and the Nepalese authorities in maintaining the sanctity and cleanliness of Everest.

Environmentalists and seasoned climbers alike are calling out the Nepalese agencies for their inability to keep the mountain clean.

The heaps of garbage accumulating on Everest are a stark reminder of the human footprint on one of the world's most iconic natural wonders.

As Everest continues to attract adventurers from around the globe, it is imperative that measures are taken to preserve its pristine condition.

The focus should not only be on setting records but also on ensuring that the mountain remains unspoiled for future generations.
