Everest received critical reviews.
 Analysis of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster shows that part of the blame was on the bottleneck caused by a large number of climbers (33 to 36) attempting to summit on the same day; this was considered unusually high at the time
4 fatalities for every 100 summits, with 3938 summits since 2000 to 2023), the significant increase in the total number of climbers still means 54 fatalities since 2000 to 2023: 33 on the northeast ridge, 17 on the southeast ridge, 2 on the southwest face, and 2 on the north face
