I am perfectly happy admiring Everest from the comfort of my couch!

The mountain is the mountain. Human ego is the the killer.

1:27 The first Asian woman to summit Mt. Everest is Junko Tabei, who summited in 1975. Suzanne is 48 years too late.

People not doing well at camp 3 should not be allowed to continue Once in the dearh zone... I'd not risk my life for another person... they knew they shouldnt be there..

[gitchegumee]

These aren't mountianers - these are unqualified tourists. They might as well install an escalator and a gift shop at the top.

I can’t wait to climb and summit Mount Everest. I run up and down my stairs at home three times a day and I feel so ready 😊

[macwyll]

I must ask why they let the first lady continuously place her and other people's life in danger when it was clearly evident she was not physically capable of completing the climb. Twice!

1:30 …. First Asian woman to reach Everest’s summit and complete all “7 summits” was
Junko Ishibashi

Francis didn't use supplemental oxygen either. Suzanne had a pacemaker. Bad idea trying to climb Everest with a pacemaker.

You can never be alone on Mount Everest - too many massive egos to keep you company....

[mariamaldonado]

I don't understand how people can pay sixty thousand dollars to suffer or die it's insane

[ewatson]

I want to be the first person to die on Mount Everest without climbing it. Maybe they could build some kind of catapult at the base and just fling me up towards the peak?

[will]

Well, that was the dumbest death on Everest I’ve heard of. I am glad no one was hurt in organising her evacuation.

[hrep]

I've lived in a hilly enviroment for most of my life, climbing mountains is never going on my bucket list.

[Deniz_Ozbek]

Thats why you shouldnt go there, unless youre ready to pay with your life. You can feel perfect, and within half an hour you cant breathe or stand up. Should be more rules regarding letting people go

[woofna]

You say climbing Everest requires a "good general fitness level". That has to be the biggest understatement that I've ever read about high altitude mountaineering. Safely climbing requires an exceptional level of fitness. Underestimating that fact, as you did in your intro, is precisely what gets people into trouble. The descent is the hardest part. If your legs punk out on the descent, you're in deep trouble. Slow and prone to slips and falls.

[gregggeeslin]

I had enough problems trying to breathe in 14, 000 ft in Colorado. I cannot imagine going 3 mi higher than that to a place like Everest.

[blairkimberlin]

I've never understood why people say they "want to conquer the mountain/ conquered the mountain". It's not like a mountain wants to kill you and it's not like you can take the mountain with you after you reach the top. So how is it "conquered"?

[sallyspencer]

It's crazy to climb Mt Everest. The ads for Mt Everest make it sound easy, that it's not as technical as K2 However Everest is very technical and the altitude is the same altitude Jet Airplanes travel. Professional climbers die on the Mountain. There are too many climbers trying to summit and are standing in line for 1-2 hours, they are in the death zone too long. At 28, 000 ft you have Hypothermia no and's if's or but's about it. The body creates a flush as a last effort to protect and warm the body, so what people do is to loosen their jacket and hood because they feel warm.
Climbers are driven to summit, because of their victory they rejoice and so they should. Most deaths occur on the decent and in the death zone. The Medical risk are Cerebral Edema, Pulmonary Edema called altitude sickness, they may also have frost bite and can loose fingers, toes and limbs.
The great heroes of Everest are the Sherpa's without them no one would be able to climb Mt Everest. The Porters carry a dozen oxygen cylinders and other supplies on their back to the death zone for the climbers who will need them at 26, 00 ft. The Sherpa's secure the ropes with out which no one can climb. There are Sherpa's accompanying every climber, advising them and risking their own lives when there are problems. It takes 8 Sherpa's to bring one body down. We must not forget the Ice Doctors who place the ladders across the Ice fall thus securing a safe pass over the dangerous crevasses.
These great people should be given a generous tips by the individual climbers. One third of the deaths on Everest are Sherpa's which is a great loss to their families who are poverty stricken.

The mountain is way too overcrowded for such a short window. How can you maintain a time line with all the log jambs of climbers. A lot more will die!!
