One Mistake Killed Everest’s Greatest Sherpa

It was April 29th, 2001. Babu Chiri Sherpa walked out of his tent at 21,300 feet to make some tea. The strongest climber on Everest, the man who'd spent 21 hours on the summit without oxygen, was just going 250 feet to chat with friends. But in a few hours, he would vanish without a trace. And by morning, the greatest Sherpa who ever lived would be dead - for reasons that still haunt the climbing world today.

This isn't just about one climber's death. This is about what happens when expertise becomes an enemy by itself. By the end of this story, you'll see the Fatal Mistake that killed Everest’s greatest sherpa and why sometimes the mountain doesn't punish recklessness - it punishes greatness.
Welcome to the extreme edge.
