What are some problems that you can face on Mt. Everest?
Like crevases, avalanches and stuff?
I have to write an adventure novel on Everest for english and I need some things that could go wrong ans solutions.
I dont have any ideas write now.
Also how many sherpas do you need per person to climb everest? I cant find the answer anywhere.
Thankyou for your help.

How 'bout when you finally make it to the top there are no leaves or toilet paper & you got to take the s*hit of your life.
-P.S. Can i get the best answer for humor?

You should research this on google and your library, not this awful site where almost no one knows anything about mountain climbing. yes, crevasses, avalanches, altitude sickness, freezing weather, falls can all result in death.
One person wouldn't need any sherpas necessarily. A big group might need 10-40 sherpas and porters.
You need to write an entire 100+ page book for a class? Not a good topic if you don't know much about mountaineering. Read "Into Thin Air", it covers everything. There are lots of good films and tv shows available on DVD on this topic.

If you haven't found the answers, then you haven't looked in a good library. There are dozens of books on climbing Mt. Everest and in addition there are many books on climbing mountains where the problems are pretty much the same.
Instead of going up on the mountain (slogging along) your adventure novel would be truely interesting if set among the people who didn't go up as the mountaineers left the camp.
