Two climbers have died on Mount Everest in the season’s first casualties on the world’s highest mountain, expedition organisers said on Thursday.
Abdul Waraich, 41, from Switzerland, reached the top of the 8,849m-high (29,032ft) mountain before getting into difficulties on the way down, said Chhang Dawa of the expedition organiser, Seven Summit Treks in Nepal. “Abdul successfully reached the summit but began experiencing issues during his descent,” he said. “We sent two additional Sherpas with oxygen and food. Unfortunately, the Sherpas couldn’t save him.”
A US national, Puwei Liu, 55, also died on the mountain. He had reached the rock band known as the Hillary Step, located between South Col at 7,906m and the summit, but had to return because of snow blindness and exhaustion. He reached camp at the South Col with the help of support team members and additional oxygen, but died on Wednesday evening, the organisers said.

i'm sure there is some drug you can take that makes this 1000x easier but none of them take it because they are all breatharians and huge pussies IRL

I think the chances are still pretty slim that you'll die. Either way its called thrill-seeking for a reason. Powerful adrenaline rushes associated with doing anything that has a risk of death.

One climber described the experience of being at the peak as if he was walking in molasses. Slow motion, is what he said. He said each step takes a colossal effort, because the oxygen in your blood is extremely low. Once you get hit with -50F winds in that condition, you're toast.
