The case centres on a terrible incident that occurred on Mount Everest on May
11, 1996, making it one of the deadliest days on the mountain up until 2014 and
2015.
On May 10, 23 climbers reached the summit of Mount Everest. Unfortunately,
five climbers perished during their descent, including expedition leaders Rob
Hall (Adventure Consultant) and Scott Fischer (Mountain Madness), who were
stuck in a blizzard.
Different people, including the climbers themselves, have come to different
views about this catastrophe.
This assertion is a thorough examination of the entire situation, with special
attention paid to the decisions made during the ascent and descent, the role of
the expedition's leaders, team management, and process management, with the
goal of explaining what caused the tragedy and how it could have been avoided.
