Fatalities

Debris injures eight other climbers.

A lone climber took a fatal fall after finishing a rope solo in Colorado’s Clear Creek on Wednesday, January 19.

A 20-member expedition team was caught in a massive avalanche on October 1. Four climbers are confirmed dead, with two others still missing.

Though overcrowding was a deadly factor on Mount Everest this year, climate change might prove more devastating in the long run.
