Great article. One minor point of pedantry, just check the date for Death Bivi, I am sure it was before the 1938 ascent, so not 1939.

Good point, Mehringer and Sedlmeyer died at Death Bivouac in 1935.

I'm currently (re)reading white spider so this article is timely for me. Not something that I would ever attempt but hats off to the guys that do! Steve D

Prior to the first ascent, the death rate was more like 50%--getting off the face alive before 1938 was a notable event! 1/13 death rate sounds about right to me.
