Mount Everest Climbers

British climber Andrew Irvine vanished in 1924 alongside his climbing partner, George Mallory.

Phunjo Lama spent three weeks acclimatizing before her record-breaking push, joined by her climbing partner Samantha McMahon.

An Indian climber rescued from Everest has died in hospital, a Nepali tourism official said Tuesday, taking the number of fatalities this season on the world's highest mountain to eight.

This is just one of the many clips of an apparent constant rush hour getting to the top of world's highest peak (at 8,848 metres).

The duo were part of a group of 15 who reached the summit of the world's highest mountain at 29,032 feet.

A Kenyan and a Nepali climber have died close to Everest's summit, tourism officials said Thursday, taking this season's toll on the world's highest mountain to at least four.

Nepali climber Phunjo Lama on Thursday reached Everest's summit in 14 hours and 31 minutes, smashing the record for the world's fastest ascent of the mountain by a woman.

Nepali Sherpa climber and guide Kami Rita Sherpa on Wednesday morning again set out a world record with the 30th summit of Mount Everest, a record number by a single person.

Two Mongolian climbers have tragically died following their successful ascent of the world's tallest peak, Mount Everest, from the Nepali side, without supplementary oxygen and assistance of Sherpa guides, as confirmed by the Mongolian National Climb

Rescuers found the body of one of two missing Mongolian climbers on Mount Everest on Friday, expedition organisers said, the first confirmed fatality on the world's highest peak this mountaineering season.

A French climber died on Mount Makalu, the world's fifth-highest peak, expedition organisers said Tuesday, the second fatality of this year's spring climbing season and both on the same mountain.

Nepal's Supreme Court has ordered the government to limit the number of mountaineering permits issued for Everest and other peaks, a lawyer confirmed Friday, just as expeditions prepare for the spring climbing season.

Nepal has ordered Everest mountaineers to carry mandatory trackers after one of the deadliest seasons last year -- and remove their excrement using compostable bags similar to those used for dog waste.

Climbers will need to purchase "poop bags" at the base camp. These bags will be "checked upon their return".

Official data showed that since 1953's Hillary-Norgay summit, around 7,000 mountaineers have successfully scaled Mt Everest.
