      Hi, glad to hear you're back safe. What made you decide that enough is enough? Also was it as easy as "Alright guys that's enough for me, going back down now!" and you hike back down on your own? Or did you have someone follow you down.
      I'm new to this and have been very interested, thank you!

      While its definitely a lot easier now, its still no small task to summit Everest, as evidenced by the amount of those who fail. Of course the sherpas and the first people to do it before the guide ropes accomplished an even more amazing feat, but its still a daunting and physically punishing task, and a life lost is nothing to celebrate.

      Yes, but the Everest Advanced Base Camp is at 6,400 meters ASL, one don't need climb 8,848.86 meters to reach the summit.
      In Denali (Alaska) is need climb 5,500 meters for reach the summit due the fact that this mountain is just 900 meters ASL.

    I'll always remember my expedition back in '97 with the (now legendary) Ken 'Eddie' Kennedy of the Downtown Nepal crew. We left camp 4 at about 10pm and made it as far as the Zabriskie Doormat. Then the weather suddenly worsened. At that time you couldn't use online weather radars. We ground to a halt and it took another hour to make it to the middle of Sumner's Handbasket, which was one of the most icy points. By that point, and without the benefit of a piste map or any salt buckets, we decided it was best to turn back.
    There would be no summits that day. But one thing's for sure, being in places I'd only ever heard about, was definitely something to think about. And I still do, to this day. RIP Kenny boy. You're the man.

It all depends on how badly you want it, and it also depends on how efficient you can be at putting excuses aside. But if you're that determined that you can't it might be that you're missing a body part or you most likely don't want it bad enough. That determination would be of good use somewhere else though.

      Sadly, as the first in line that day with the camera, I (and we all) had to climb over someone who died the night before. It was horrific to be honest. Of all the years I'd been up there, it was the first time I encountered a deceased climber. Very tragic and rather traumatizing. It's a strange feeling because your mind is hypoxic. I cried. I had a tremendous amount of empathy and sadness overwhelmed me. No one else spoke about it after the climb which messed my head up a bit. In that moment where you're that fragile and on the line between life and death, a survival mechanism kicks in in your brain and you have to pretend it didn't happen for a period of time until you descend. Then you deal with it otherwise it deals with you in the moment and you're done. Complex situation to navigate, especially for those who are not experienced. Life is fragile up there. Very fragile. I have a full blog posted on my site about what happened that day called: Into the Death Zone

Low atmospheric oxygen pressure in the lungs + effort that rises oxygen consumption + edema which decreases oxygen supply and increases right heart work = inhuman conditions!
