This is peak stupidity.
Don’t call it a peace summit: Footage captured the ludicrous moment two tourist couples brawled with each other over a viewing spot near Mount Everest.
The kerfuffle reportedly occurred on June 25 after two groups of tourists, who were believed to be Chinese, simultaneously converged on the 8848 Viewing Platform, located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, the Independent reported.
A tour guide had reportedly asked the parties to pose together for a photo beside the Everest Elevation Monument.
However, their photo-op went south after the couples began bickering over optimal viewing positions, which eventually escalated into said slugfest, Newsflare reported.
Footage shows the two men punching at each other as they roll around on the platform.
At one point, one of the women tries to pull them apart while the other joins in and starts kicking one of them.
Eventually, authorities with the Everest Border Police Camp intervene and separate the couples.
All four brawlers were taken into custody for further investigation.
Authorities have pledged to update the public on the proceedings in due course.
In April, China reportedly reopened the Tibetan side of Mount Everest to climbers, marking the first time the wonder’s been accessible to alpinists since the pandemic.
Unfortunately, overcrowding has been a mounting issue atop the world’s tallest mountain, which measures 29,032 feet high.
This problem was thrust back into the spotlight last month when two Everest climbers went missing and were presumed dead due to a ridge collapse.
