NEW DELHI — Ed Dohring, a doctor from Arizona, had dreamed his whole life of reaching the top of Mount Everest. But when he summited a few days ago, he was shocked by what he saw. He even had to step around the body of a woman who had just died. “It was scary,” he said by telephone from Kathmandu, Nepal, where he was resting in a hotel room. “It was like a zoo.”This has been one of the deadliest climbing seasons on Everest, with at least 10 deaths.
