I've read a few books about climbers and tragedies on the mountains. "into thin air" and "eiger dreams" are a couple good ones. yeah you don't hear much about it but alot of people die climbing (seasoned climbers and tour gides as well). when the weather gets nasty it doesn't matter how many mountains you've climbed if mother nature decides it's your time to die.
Ive read Into thin air and it was good. I know they are having missions to climb up there and clear some of the oxygen tanks and other trash that gets left behind. They say the place looks like a garbage dump. Tents and tanks everywhere along with the bodies.
