There are many dangers on Mount Everest. Many people die before reaching the summit, which is 11,328 feet from base camp because of the strong winds, the freezing temperatures (that reach about -35ºC in the winter), and lack of oxygen above Earth's atmosphere. These are all things that you must be wary of when climbing Mount Everest. Not to mention the walls of ice and the probability that if not properly trained, you could die from bad equipment or lack of knowledge of your equipment.
