Maze of the Week #249 - Mount Everest

Maze of the Week #249 features Mount Everest from the border of Nepal and China. It is famous for being the highest mountain above sea level. The more I read about the mountain and the more stories I hear about it, the more confident I feel that climbing it has become a very bad idea. There are multiple pages on Wikipedia depending on how you want to look at deaths on the mountain. Read about the mountain on Wikipedia.

The maze: Black and white. Much easier to reach the summit this way
