The level of oxygen that the body is getting is low so it would most likely start to breath faster. By doing that the heart rate will also increase so that the blood can deliver the oxygen to the tissues. Over all the body will produce more red blood cells to use the oxgen efficiently.

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.

Through 2007 the number of climbers summiting Everest reached at least 2,972, and the number of deaths on the mountain reached 208.

Mt. Everest is named after Sir George Everest. He was a British military engineer who served as a surveyor general of India from 1829 to 1843. During this time he surveyed the peak, and became the first person to record the location and height of the mountain, which at that time was called Peak XV. Andrew Waugh, Everest's successor as the British Surveyor General of India, decided that Peak XV should be named after George Everest. George Everest was opposed to the idea, claiming to the Royal Geographical Society in 1857 that Everest could not be written in Hindi nor pronounced by 'the native of India'. Waugh's proposed name prevailed despite his objections, and in 1865, the Royal Geographical Society officially adopted Mount Everest as the name for the highest mountain in the world. Most people in Nepal call Mt. Everest, Sagarmtha, meaning forehead in the sky. Speakers of the Tibetan language call Mt. Everest Chomolungma. The translation is "goddess, mother of the world."
