This area is by far the most dangerous, and where many people meet their fate. Survival is the top priority on this part of the mountain, and margin for error is slim to none. Immediate frost bite will take place, and the lack of oxygen will weaken and subdue the climber's mental capacity due to the very low oxygen levels.
