In case Everest is too far for you, perhaps you should consider climbing Mount Rainier, the number two on our list of most difficult mountains to climb in US. It has a similar death toll. Over 400 people have died on it. Obviously, climbing it can prove to be a death trap. Around three people die on it every year, out of 8,000-13,000 who try to reach the peak. Just like it is the case with Everest, usually, it is too dangerous to take the bodies and bury them properly.
