1996 Mount Everest disaster
The 1996 Mount Everest disaster refers to the events of 10–11 May 1996, when eight people caught in a blizzard died on Mount Everest during attempts to ascend or, having achieved their goal, descend from the summit. Over the entire season, 12 people died trying to reach the summit, making for the deadliest day and year on Mount Everest prior to the 16 fatalities of the 2014 Mount Everest avalanche and the 18 deaths resulting from avalanches caused by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake. The 1996 disaster gained wide publicity and raised questions about the commercialization of Everest.
Numerous climbers, including multiple large teams as well as some small partnerships, and even some soloists, were high on Everest during the storm. While climbers died on both the North Face and South Col approaches, the events on the South Face are better known. Journalist Jon Krakauer, on assignment from ''Outside'' magazine, was in a party led by guide Rob Hall that lost four climbers on the south side; he afterwards published the bestseller ''Into Thin Air'' (1997), which related his experience. Anatoli Boukreev, whose party lost a guide, but no clients, felt impugned by Krakauer's book and co-authored a rebuttal book called ''The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest'' (1997). Beck Weathers, of Hall's expedition, and Lene Gammelgaard, of Boukreev's expedition, wrote about their experiences of the disaster in their respective books, ''Left For Dead: My Journey Home from Everest'' (2000) and ''Climbing High: A Woman's Account of Surviving the Everest Tragedy'' (2000). In 2014, Lou Kasischke, also of Hall's expedition, published his own account of the tragedy in ''After the Wind: 1996 Everest Tragedy, One Survivor's Story'' (2014). Mike Trueman, who coordinated the rescue from Base Camp, has added to the story with ''The Storms: Adventure and Tragedy on Everest'' (May 2015).
British filmmaker and writer Matt Dickinson's book, ''The Death Zone'' (later republished as ''The Other Side of Everest''), is a first-hand account of the storm's impact on climbers on the mountain's other side, the North Ridge, where three climbers in a group from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police also died.
