Thin Air + Long Lines



Outside Magazine's been sending regular updates from this season at Everest.  Poor weather and high popularity have proven to be a fatal mix.  Last weekend, some 300 climbers and guides attempted to take advantage of a break in the weather.  At least 4 people died, with a total count of 10 for this season thus far.  Conditions don't seem to be improving.  Too many green climbers are forcing their summit.  Stay tuned to Outside's coverage for continuing reports -
