The Deadly Ascent of Everest

A True Story of Survival and Tragedy

The 1996 Everest Disaster

On the morning of May 10, 1996, climbers Jason Clarke and Josh Brolin from two expeditions started their final ascent of Mount Everest. The weather was good, and the climbers were feeling confident. But as they climbed higher, the weather turned bad, and a storm engulfed the mountain. The climbers became lost and disoriented, and several of them died of hypothermia and exhaustion.

The 1996 Everest disaster was one of the deadliest mountaineering disasters in history. Eight climbers died, including Clarke and Brolin. The disaster was caused by a combination of factors, including bad weather, poor judgment, and lack of experience.

The 1996 Everest disaster is a reminder of the dangers of mountaineering. Even the most experienced climbers can be caught off guard by the unforgiving conditions on Mount Everest. Climbers who are planning to climb Everest should be aware of the risks and should be prepared for bad weather and other emergencies.
