Are people lining up to die on Mount Everest?

Another climbing season for those attempting to summit Mount Everest has come to a close.

This year, the Nepalese government offered fewer climbing permits in an effort to reduce congestion on the mountain and improve safety, after a record-breaking 18 climbers lost their lives in 2023.

Still, this year saw five climbers die on the climb, with three others still missing.

So what is it really like to climb the tallest mountain on Earth, and should the Nepalese government be putting more safety measures in place?

In this episode, The Briefing’s Simon Beaton speaks with Dan Stretch from Global Rescue, who coordinates high-altitude rescues on Mount Everest.
