    Since 1922, when the first attempt to climb Everest was made, 193 climbers and 125 Sherpas have died on both sides of the mountain.

    So it sounds like less Sherpas have died than climbers, and I’m guessing you have more than one sherpa per climber.

      Those numbers seem really low for a hundred year of shenanigans. I am less concerned by the mountaineers that climbed it alongside Sherpas at one point, and am more poking at the rich dickheads who have created the climb Mt Everest industry where Sherpas make sure everything is safe before the dickhead even wakes up. All just to say they climbed the mountain. So maybe at least use statistics from the current decade. It took another 31 years since the first attempt made for an Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to succeed.
