One thing every single highly motivated mountain climber who ever died on Everest has in common is that they got off their safe comfy couch.

I wonder how many cases of severe frostbite (requiring amputations) occur there.

Ar least the climbers doing Denali have a hospital in Fairbanks that is well equipped for that sort of injury. Don't know about Everest...

....The death toll for this year's climbing season on Mount Everest rose to 11 on Monday after a Colorado attorney died while descending from the tallest peak in the world, Nepalese tourism officials said.

Chris Kulish, 62, died suddenly after descending to about 25,918 feet, about 3,000 feet below the mountain's peak in Nepal...........
