Four people have died in the span of four days on Mount Everest including a Sherpa, while two others have gone missing.
Danger is inherent in climbing the world's highest peak. And there are fatalities -- there has been at least one every year since 1990, according to the country's tourism department. And more than 200 climbers have died since Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made the first official ascent in 1953.
