Risks associated with Mount Everest Expedition:
Every reward comes with certain risks. And when it's the Mount Everest Expedition, where the climbers have to traverse the Death Zone, a zone above 8000 m, risks are sure to be associated. While risks like altitude sickness can be handled by proper acclimatization, other severe risks like heavy snowfall, rain, storms, and avalanches can be avoided. Objective risks like natural disasters are out of human control.
The other emerging issue with expeditions is the traffic jam that takes place in the “Death Zone” which requires climbers to wait until they get their turn to the summit. This can be well managed and minimize the risk.
(NOTE: We use constant climate monitoring to grasp the best time for a summit.)
