85% of climbers are from the USA and India

52% of climbers have a gofundme profile

3% of climbers will arrive at camp 2 with their crampons on the wrong feet

18% of climbers will take an ice axe past ABC on Everest

0% of climbers will be Afro American

95% of ice axes taken above ABC will be used as tent stakes

26% of climbers will spill their stove in their tent

78% of climbers will be displaying a sponsors badge

23% of climbers tried to sell advertising space on their downsuit for more if it was on their chest than their arm

65% of climbers will have more sponsors badges on their jacket than mountains they’ve climbed

100% of climbers will carry a flag to the summit

46% of climbers will carry a soft toy and give it a name

Great insight into the circus.

Disapointed there is no statistic for Bankers/Dentists or TV celebs.

Great endorsement for public schools, giving all those people the motivation to go mountaineering.

No mention of American public schools? Probably quite a high percentage to escape the guns........

Public school in the USA  =  state school in the UK

Private school in the USA ( likely to have armed security guards) = Public or Private school in the UK

Holy f@ck. What does that actually prove about Everest sumitteers? 

Perhaps everyone needs to stay away, or the Nepalise govt ought to double the peak fee ( I would knowing those stats)
