Mount Everest has experienced one of its deadliest climbing seasons in years, with an estimated nine climbers dying on the mountain in 2019. The deaths have raised concerns that an already treacherous climb is becoming even more dangerous because of a traffic jam of climbers near the summit. Before his death, British climber Robin Haynes Fisher warned of the dangers of overcrowding on the world’s highest peak. He reportedly died while descending from the summit.
