An accomplished mountain dweller, Adrian Ballinger thinks about the risks of Everest superior to most. He's burned through 12 seasons as a guide on the world's most astounding pinnacle and has summited it multiple times - once without valuable oxygen, which nearly cost him his life.

"I truly think whether Everest had been 15 feet higher, I wouldn't have summited and got down alive," Ballinger tells CNN.

The mountain's heartless nature has been exposed as of late. Poor climate has limited the time span for summit endeavors, just as making living conditions and Base Camp planning considerably all the more testing.
