Would You Climb Mount Everest?

Some interesting numbers. A record 478 permits have been issued this year to climb Mt Everest. So far 12 people have died and 5 are missing.
That’s around a 3.5% fatality rate. Or to put it in perspective, about 2.9 million fly each day. At the same rate, over 100,000 people per day would die in airplane crashes. Unfathomable.
Wonder how many TUSCLers would take the risk
