Mount Everest has a grim reputation and a terrible record for the most deaths on a mountain. Many have attempted to make the summit though few succeed. Even those that do make the fabled top have no guarantee of getting back down alive.
A black man nearly summited in 2020 but had to turn back early due to white-out conditions. Unfortunately he became disoriented during the descent and used up his remaining oxygen before reaching base camp. Another group of climbers found him stricken with hypothermia and hypoxia and barely able to move. His last words to them were, "I can't breathe."
