More than 700 people, including members of the expedition (climbers and climbing guides, altitude workers, sherpas, kitchen workers), will be climbing Mt. Everest this year. On the other hand, there are 104 climbers for Lhotse and 23 for Nupse. More than a thousand climbers and workers will reach the second camp to climb these three mountains.
