With just a narrow window of good weather – and narrow trails – log-jammed climbers are forced to spend longer stretches in lethal “death-zone” conditions.

Man I would be PISSED if I went to Everest and saw that ugly crowd
The beauty and Magnificence would be poisoned by that
The highest graveyard in the world. That country is to blame for being greedy and putting money first before human life. What will it look like in 20yrs. An obstacle course over frozen corpses is what.
Who told you to get there America se beautiful country no go to their
Let them kill themselves. Rid of the stupid and egomaniacal
This was a major contributor to the 1996 disaster. Too many people waiting to summit, wasting their oxygen in their tanks, their window of good weather, and their energy while they stand around waiting, When will the Nepalese government pass a law limiting the amount of ppl that can climb that final stretch in the death zone?! Just this one act would have saved so many lives.
Greed….plain and simple.
Good riddance
death angel 1 : where's your post at?
death angel 2 : everest.
death angel 1 : lucky you
For those who said that it is a waste of time to climb up there.no ur wrong.When they reach the TOP of Mount Everest they will feel a sense of satisfaction and something they feel proud of.And yes they do know its dangerous but they do it for the sake to fulfil their dreams
idiot egos. Stupidity to the nth degree.
You go and and it's at your own risk. So why even do it?
McDonalds have just announced they will be building a store on the summit. Apparently Wallmart are looking into it also.
I really couldn’t give a shit. Who the hell told you to even go near it, you first-world, bucket-list wannabe asshole? Go have your fucking midlife crisis somewhere else. Zero degrees and zero pity for people who are that fucking stupid.
9 people hav died this season as per the ministry of nepal, 7 hav died due to altitude sickness,2 are missing,it propoganda to hit nepalese tourism industry
Scrape 'em off and build a WALL…! 💀
11,000 dollar ? no wonder nepal is having hard time in limiting number of climbers
In the Kali Yuga, a time of discord and hypocrisy, humans have lost the most important qualities to the point of not being able to drive ourselves .. "what to say" to lead a people …..
Crack avarice
Promptly right … the Nepalese government will have to take action as soon as possible if it does not want to be judged by the whole world to be an accomplice to those lives left behind. And how to get children into the high water without having reassured themselves that they took the right precautions if they can swim or not. And how to say "go go" and at the risk I turn to the other side.
The ole Death Zone claims a dozen more…Omg
They paid $$$ to die on a mountain.
Having to step over a dead body…to KEEP climbing… DAH!! TURN AROUND !!! I guess they can't teach COMMON SENCE in schools.
I'm sorry they choose to risk their lives to climb that mountain, but it was THEIR choice to be there in the first place.
At a point in my life I was a life guard. I'd rather loose my life trying to SAVE someone than put others LIVES at risk when they have to risk their lives trying to get a person now in trouble down a mountain THEY choose to be on.
