Mount Everest Eats People

150 people were climbing Mount Everest this weekend. This weekend Everest claimed four lives. There was a traffic jam due to the high number of climbers this weekend. This may have been a cause of the deaths. Climber had to wait to heads up the trail; they spent too much time at the high altitude.  Many of them were carrying a limited supply of oxygen.  The climbing conditions had been treacherous due to the heavy snowfall and strong winds. One of the climbers died on the way down the mountain, others were just exhausted, also suffered from altitude sickness. One of them had been reported as missing but later reached base camp.
