"More than 1,200 climbers have reached the Everest summit and 175 people have died on its slopes."

This does not include all the failed attempts, buts let say about 10% of people desperate to reach the top, is going home in a bag. (If they don't leave you up there.)

Stick to BASE, its a lot safer...
