In my opinion I think people should not climb Mount Everest. I think this because of high chances of death, extreme weather, and pollution. Let me tell you the dangers and deaths of the mountain.

My first reason why people should not climb Mount Everest is because there are high chances of death. One way you could die on Mount Everest is by frostbite, because of the really cold weather. Also, because of the high elevation, you could run out of oxygen and die that way too.

Another way you could die is by avalanches. Avalanches are extremely dangerous. If someone is caught in an avalanche they could either be severely injured or dead.

Plus, most people who climb Mount Everest don’t know what could happen to them. They might just want to go up there to try to get popular.

I know for sure that if someone asked me, “ Do you want to climb to the death zone on Mount Everest”, I would say, “ No!’’, just from the name, “ death zone’’. Lastly, about half the people who climb Mount Everest don’t have a lot of experience in climbing. They are the people who are most likely going to die.

Weather on Mount Everest is also really dangerous. As you probably know, Mount Everest is very cold. Temperatures on the mountain are always below freezing.

In the summer temperatures are rising. This means that Mount Everest is becoming even more dangerous because now there are more avalanches, more debris, and less ice to climb. So, there will probably be even more death's. To wrap it up, weather on Mount Everest is harsh and dangerous.

Do you know that Mount Everest is polluted? Well it is. I’m going to tell how Mount Everest got polluted. One way it got polluted is by traffic jams. When climber’s rush to the top of Mount Everest, they could get stuck in traffic. Sometimes there are lines of people on the mountain that have been waiting for days.

When this happens they leave their trash behind. Also, when people are rushing, garbage can get stuck in the snow. Lastly, trash isn’t the only thing people have seen on Mount Everest. Some climbers have seen dead bodies. Either buried in the snow or frozen in ice.

Now that we’ve talked about the dangers of Mount Everest, I'm going to tell you about the deaths. To start, I’m going to tell you about some of the records. First of all, eighty year old Yuichiro Miura is the oldest man ever to make it to the top of Mount Everest. Then Jorden Romero became the youngest person to reach the summit at the age of thirteen.

Also, from the information I’ve read, there have been eight thousand five hundred and thirty deaths from 2012. Four climbers died in a line near the peak, seven people and three sherpa guides died in 2012, sixteen people were killed in an avalanche, and eight thousand five hundred people died in a 7.8 earthquake. Now you know that Mount Everest is the highest graveyard on the planet.

In conclusion, I don’t think people should climbing Mount Everest because there are high chances of death, the weather is harsh and Mount Everest is polluted. There are more mountains to climb that are way less dangerous. You’ll just have to find them.
