After seeing this a couple years ago, I went down the rabbit hole. The stories and death associated with these people are crazy.

My dad climbed to base camp in the 80s. A woman in his lodging wailed/wept loudly all night, turns out she had just returned from an attempt to summit wherein her husband & a Sherpa had both fallen into a crevasse and died.

There's a story of a woman who fell into a crevice in the rock and got stuck, but was alive. She needed to be pulled out.

Her hiking party, which included her husband, had to abandon her, because they did not have enough oxygen to pull her out and make it out of the death zone. So, some poor man had to walk away from his conscious and alive wife and abandon her to die of asphyxia and hypothermia.
