A record number of climbers have died or gone missing on Mount Everest since the beginning of the season, with stunning images emerging of a human traffic jam on the southern Nepalese side of the mountain.

Canadian documentary filmmaker Elia Saikaly posted an Instagram post last week on top of the Mount Everest summit describing the trek to the top as "completely insane".

"I cannot believe what I saw up there. Death. Carnage. Chaos. Line-ups. Dead bodies on the route and in tents at camp 4. People who I tried to turn back who ended up dying. People being dragged down. Walking over bodies," he wrote in the post.

‘It Was Like a Zoo:’ Death on an Unruly, Overcrowded Everest

Ed Dohring, a doctor from Arizona, had dreamed his whole life of reaching the top of Mount Everest. But when he summited a few days ago, he was shocked by what he saw. Climbers were pushing and shoving to take selfies. The flat part of the summit, which he estimated at about the size of two Ping-Pong tables, was packed with 15 or 20 people. To get up there, he had to wait hours in a line, chest to chest, one puffy jacket after the next, on an icy, rocky ridge with a several-thousand-foot drop.

"Over 500 people summited but it was not without cost, 10 people died, many of which were avoidable in my view," he wrote.

He said he believed there were four reasons for the amount of deaths on Everest this season: too few summit windows; too many people; too many inexperienced climbers; and inadequate support for climbers.

American mountaineer Jake Norton, who was part of the search group that found George Mallory's body on Everest in 1999 and has summitted the mountain multiple times, said he is surprised more fatalities don't occur on the Nepalese side of Everest.

"This sounds crass, but I'm surprised more people didn't die; when you get situations like that it's such a pressure cooker of danger," he said.

"People have got a limited supply of oxygen so the more time you wait, generally you're going to turn down your oxygen to conserve it, that makes your body not able to run nearly as well, so you get colder, people's brains get fuzzier, decision-making gets a little bit weaker.

"Everest has become such a money game there's so much money in it for individual outfitters, governments.

"Nobody really wants to police it and enforce the need to have companies up here who are hiring the right people, doing things the right way."
