[Edit] |
Answer
Mount Everest is the highest mountain on earth. By the end of 2006 (climbing season) there were 3,050 ascents to the summit by 2,062 persons and at least 630 more ascents in 2007. There have been more than 200 deaths Because of the rugged conditions of Mount Everest and difficult weather patterns the corpses are left where they fell and some are visible from standard climbing routes.
