nobody reached the top of Mt Everest

a couple snippets:

As recently as 2013, hundreds of climbers were making their way to the summit each year, according to the Himalayan Database. That year alone, according to database figures, 658 climbers reached the top of Everest. Eight people were killed on the mountain in 2013.
