Facts about Mount Everest

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. Its height is about 8,848 meter above sea level. Mount Everest attracts many climbers some of them are highly experienced mountaineers. There are two main climbing routes: one approaching the summit from the southeast in Nepal (known as the "standard route") and the other from the north in Tibet, China. While not posing substantial technical climbing challenges on the standard route, Everest presents dangers such as altitude sickness, weather, and wind as well as significant hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall. The mount everest was first climbed in 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and the Tenzing Norgay who were the first two Successful Climbers.

Overall, more than 600 climbers from 20 countries have climbed to the summit by various routes from both north and south. Climbers' ages have ranged from nineteen years to sixty. At least 100 people have perished, most commonly by avalanches, falls in crevasses, cold, or the effects of thin air.

Two Men Climbed It 21 Times

The two climbers named Apa Sherpa and Phurba Tashi hold the joint record for most Everest ascents. The team has each managed to reach the summit an impressive 21 times. Phurba reached the top of the world three times in 2007 alone, and Apa has successfully summited the mountain almost every year between 1990 and 2011.

Apa Sherpa and the Phurvba Tashi are the two climbers who climb the highest peak(Mount Everest) 21 times.

Human Traffic Jam

Climbing Everest cost more money in spite of its expensive, more people than ever are trying to peak it. In 2012, German mountaineer Ralf Dujmovits captured a shocking image showing hundreds of climbers lining up to reach the summit. Ralf had made the decision to turn back at the South Col of the mountain due to poor weather conditions when he spotted the painfully long line.

On May 19, 2012, climbers crowding one attraction near the summit faced a two-hour wait. In the course of just half a day, 234 people managed to reach the peak but four people died, raising major concerns over the climbing process. Nepal specialists that year added a new fixed rope to ease congestion, and there have even been talks of installing permanent ladders

They are well preserved in the snow and apparently serve as trail markers for climbers who pass by. Everest’s deadliest day occurred in May 1996, when eight people decomposed in a storm. Yet that incident, made famous by Jon Krakauer’s book “Into Thin Air,” did nothing to stem the tide of people willing to shell out tens of thousands of dollars for a chance to tame Earth’s highest mountain. Traffic jams have even been reported near the top, and a fist fight broke out this April between three European climbers and more than 100 Sherpas, over what the guides deemed to be rude and dangerous behavior during an attempted ascent. Meanwhile, the deaths keep coming, including at least 10 last year and around eight this year.

In 25 april 2015 a 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal and surrounding countries. that time shaking from the quake triggered an avalanche from pumori into basecamp on Mount Everst. At least twenty two people were killed, surpassing an avalanche that occured the previous year as the deadliest disaster on the mountain.
