3 more deaths on overcrowded Everest

, expedition organisers and officials said on Friday, taking the toll from a deadly week on the overcrowded peak of the world's tallest mountain to seven.

Wednesday saw an Indian and American climber die on the mountain. Last week, an Indian climber died and an Irish mountaineer is presumed dead after he slipped and fell close to the summit. Mountaineering in Nepal has become a lucrative business since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first ascent of Everest in 1953.

Sport24news I am still to understand why people put their lives at risk willingly like this... condolences.

Sport24news This is ridiculous. What's the point? Turning the mountain into a grave yard.

Sport24news I don’t feel sorry for them who goes to where he knows chances of dying are like 80% and passes dead bodies as they go up ! They know people die there mxm

Sport24news Nevermind being in the death zone... Only people crazy and stupid enough would attempt everest when foot traffic is that bad! One died because he could not move fast enough for twelve hours... That picture is a warning-Don't do it! everest2019 everesttrafficjam everesttraffic
