Like warm clothes, and medicine in case. Most carry radios or some sort of a retriever too. -

Fischer crew looking strong way up
Scott Ficher was born on December 24, 1995. He took climbing classes and courses. He had his own company Mountain Madness. He finally got to where he could do his dream and climb Mount Everest. Everyone thought he would for sure make it all the was up and back down. He was an expert at climbing. When no one could reach him theey said it was too late. They think he suffered from an altitude sickness either HACE or HAPE. They have his own Memorial set up on Mount Everest. -

Eight dead on Everest as rescue effforts continue
There is memorials and ceremonies people held at Mount Everest for people who died while climbing. The weather is really unpredictable on Mount Everest or and mountains. When climbers get really high and a snow storm strikes, some are too high up to be saved. The altitudes are high and it makes it hard for some people to make it back. Some people suffer from not enough oxygen or frost bite. Mount Everest is the Mountain with the most lost lives on it. -
