This is why Everest climbers typically make several trips up and down the mountain to increasingly high elevation camps to acclimate their bodies to high altitude conditions. Other risks to Everest climbers include frostbite and hypothermia from the extreme temperatures, thrombosis or embolisms caused by thickening of blood in response to high altitude, extreme sunburn, and broken bones from falls.
Mt. Everest is always covered in snow and ice. Many successful climbs to the summit happen in May. This is because the weather conditions are more favorable. The temperature on the mountain gets well below freezing at - 80Â°F (- 62Â°C) and the wind can blow at speeds of 200 mph (322 Km/hr). Mount Everest Facts.
