Hiking Everest Base Camp: Where – Mount Everest, Tibet
Since the first recorded deaths in 1922 some 233 climbers have died on Everest up to 2012. 15 died in 1996 alone. The majority of these fatalities (56%) have occurred while climbers were descending the mountain rather than on the climb to the summit. Since Sir Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest in 1953, there have been 6149 total ascents by just 3755 persons through the spring of 2012. Some 150 unrecovered bodies are believed to still be somewhere along the slopes of Mount Everest, many in the "death zone" above 8000 meters.
