clip posted recently showed what is now a common sight at the world’s tallest mountain — a queue of climbers making their way to the summit of Mount Everest.
Tendi Sherpa filmed the clip on Thursday showing climbers on Hillary Step, which is a near vertical rock formation below the summit. “As Hillary Step is quite exposed on a mix of rock, ice, cliff, and thin ridgeline usually it gets quite crowded with climbers coming up for summit and going down for the last camp. Through this video you can see the Hillary Step and the whole thin ridgeline between the south summit and the Hillary Step.
Fisher, 44, was the eighth climber to die on the world’s tallest mountain and the 18th in Nepal’s Himalayas during the current climbing season. Hiking officials attributed most of the deaths to weakness, exhaustion and delays on the crowded route to the 8,850m summit.Mount Everest can also be climbed from Tibet and casualties have been reported from there as well this season. —
