Reaching the summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, is every climber's dream. However, despite improvements in equipment and weather forecasting systems, the treacherous trek continues to claim a few lives annually. But with eleven deaths already reported this year, the 2019 season has been the deadliest since 2014, when fourteen Sherpas, who act as guides and help carry the climbers' gear, lost their lives after an icefall ledge collapsed.

                n my opinoin people should not be able to climb mt everest and it should be closed and only a few people should be able to climb it per certain ti.e period but then again that would cause major problems because if you had to book when u went ther like on a website it would be booked till like 2099 even tho you would probably be dead or you might forget and if you did forget then what would happen . would they let other people go go for free or what....it would get really confusing and hard for peolpe to climb mt everest whever they want . but we do not want to raise the death hazard if it gets overcrowded so what do you guys think?

                  I think Mt. Everest is a really risky climb for climbers to climb because of extreme conditions.
