Tuesday
Cyber -Thought Mount Everest
.
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A 39-year-old U.S. bartender died while descending the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, at the weekend, Nepal's tourism minister said on Tuesday.
Michael O'Brien, a driver and bartender from Seattle, plunged to his death in the treacherous Khumbu Icefall, a jumble of unstable blocks of ice that stretch from the first high camp on Everest to the base of the 8,850-meter (29,035-ft) mountain.
A total of 1,583 people from 65 countries have climbed Mount Everest from either Nepal or Tibet since it was first scaled by New Zealand's Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. Around 185 climbers have died on its slopes. O'Brien, a member of a team of seven foreign climbers, is the eighth American to die on Everest.
