200 people have died already.
Mount Everest
climbers continue to die, sadly, even with
modern-day technology the number of dead
climbers growing again ! The causes of their
death vary as widely as the weather at Mount
Everest's peak. Climbers face the dangers of
falling off the mountain, tripping into huge
crevices, asphyxiation from low oxygen levels,
avalanches and falling rocks, and weather that
can unexpectedly change drastically in mere
minutes. Some climbers stop for a brief rest
only to slowly drift into a deep sleep, never to
wake up.
All dangers aside, ask any climber
who has beaten the mountain and reached
the 29,000 foot summit and they will tell you
the most memorable, and disturbing, part of
their climb were the many perfectly preserved
bodies that they passed on their way to the top.
