Have there been any accidents on Mount Everest?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Hundreds. To date 179 individuals have died on Mount Everest. That doesn't take into consideration the many injuries.

Answer 3

The only dramatic thing is that it is thought that global warming is melting the snow on the mountain at a faster rate than first thought.

Answer 4

This would be impossible to say, many injuries probably dont get reported. We only ever hear or read about the more serious injuries or deaths that happen on Mount Everest.
