Four Men Court Controversy with Audacious Plan to Scale Everest in One Week

  • During the 2025 spring climbing season on Mount Everest, two mountaineers lost their lives: Subrata Ghosh from India, who died near the summit while descending, and Philipp Santiago, a 45-year-old climber from the Philippines, who passed away during his ascent.
  • The deaths occurred amid a busy climbing season, with favorable weather conditions attracting hundreds of mountaineers striving to summit the 8,849-meter peak.
  • Ghosh died near the summit during descent, and Santiago died at Camp IV preparing for the final summit push, both exposed to risks in Everest's high-altitude death zone.
  • Expedition organizer Bodha Raj Bhandari explained that recovering the deceased mountaineers from Everest is currently unfeasible due to the high expenses and risks involved, as such operations demand large teams navigating dangerous icy terrain.
  • These fatalities highlight persistent dangers on Everest despite improved gear and acclimatization, renewing scrutiny of overcrowding and guiding practices during a season projected to see record climber numbers.
