Nonsense, please check your sources; you're off by nearly an order of magnitude. Death rate throughout Everest's entire history is around 4%, and around 2% from 2000 to present. That's also skewed a bit by 2014 and 2015 being particularly bad years; it was 1.4% between 2000 and 2010, and 2016 and 2017 are both around 1%. If you have a 10% figure in your head, you must be thinking of K2 or another more dangerous mountain.
