Climbing Mount Everest is considered one of the most challenging feats in mountaineering due to extreme weather conditions, high altitudes, and technical difficulties. It requires careful preparation and acclimatization.
As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, over 5,000 individuals have successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest. However, these numbers may have changed since then.
Climbers face numerous dangers, including avalanches, extreme cold, high-altitude sickness, crevasses, and unpredictable weather conditions, making it a risky endeavor.
