In 2018, 807 climbers summited Mount Everest, which is a popular mountaineering goal.[3] This year is noted for an especially long weather window of 11 days straight of calm, which reduced crowding at the high base camps.[4] With over 800 reaching the top, it was the highest amount ever to reach the top in recorded history, besting the previous year by over 150 summitings.
