NEPAL – A British man died on Saturday minutes after summiting Mount Everest, bringing to 10 the total death toll this season on the world’s highest peak.
Robin Haynes Fisher, 44, reportedly fell ill while descending from the summit. An Irish man, Kevin Hynes, also died in Everest on Friday.
Nepal is facing scrutiny for issuing a record of 381 permits, at $11,000 (£8,600) each, for this year’s spring season.
