Comment Comment by pessimist Sad. But I have to say - climbing Everest when your wife is due to give birth - not cool.Overall death rate for Everest climbers is pretty close to 3% - pretty high (although its been falling).Edit: 3% is for climbers above base camp - for summit climbers its close to 10%!
