Creepy place to climb, that’s all I’ll say, apart from a disclaimer that I’ve no interest in such an activity.

[snip] On May 22, 2017, reports surfaced about the discovery of four bodies inside a tent on Mount Everest. The latest deaths, who were identified as two foreign climbers and two Sherpa guides, take the death toll this season to ten.

On an ironic note, the bodies on Mount Everest were discovered by a rescue team sent to retrieve the body of a Slovakian climber who died on the mountain the week before. What makes this case so baffling is that no one can identify who these four climbers were, no agency records or family members ever came forward either. [/snip]

[snip] Before 1996, one in four climbers had died making the ascent; 1996 saw huge numbers of people attempting the climb and the statistics for 1996 reveal that only one in seven died. [/snip]

(the running average is only 6.5% mortality)
