Summit Attempt News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

A Malaysian climber is rescued from Mount Everest's death zone by a Nepali sherpa guide in a high-altitude operation.

Closer to 400 foreigners. there's significantly less people. there were two deaths on the north side this year and there were nine on the south side. that is a huge factor. when we were up, i was on a research project, we were up over 8,000 meters for four days in a row, much more than you would be in a summit attempt and the day that we did end up just 100 meters below the summit it was a beautiful day, it was good weather, there were 30, 40 people summiting. so quite a contrast to the nepal side. so i do think the nepal government needs to step up. >> david morton, thank you so much for help...
