Crowded Everest Kills Its 11th Climber This Year
An American man died on Mount Everest on Monday, the eleventh person to perish on the mountain this climbing season. The tragedy came just days after climbers voiced concerns about the potentially fatal overcrowding.
Sixty-one-year-old climber Christopher John Kulish, a lawyer from Boulder, Colorado, reportedly died while descending from the summit, according to a Nepalese official.
“He passed away doing what he loved,” his family told a local news outlet. “We are heartbroken at this news.”
