A great long-read article on Everest (Deliverance at 27,000 Feet)

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...st-deaths.html

Warning: While none of the pictures are graphic, there are pictures with dead bodies in them, which might be unnerving to some

It really changed my view on the mountain. I used to think it was only rich people mainly from North America that climb Everest, but this story is about 4 Bengali who tried the climb and it seems like many more "local" people are motivated to climb the mountain than I first thought.
