The overwhelming majority of climbers that summit mount Everest use supplemental oxygen. A handful of climbers are able to do it without the use of supplemental oxygen. Reinhold Messner was the first person to summit mount Everest without supplemental oxygen in 1978. Ones ability to survive at altitude without supplemental oxygen depends on general fitness, acclimatization, and genetics. In order to get used to the altitude (acclimitize) most climbers make multiple carries between pre established camps on the mountain and spending days at altitude to adjust to the low oxygen levels in the air.
