It's the tallest mountain in the world, but China has decided to cut down on climbers wanting to scale Everest for a pretty grim reason.
It's the tallest mountain in the world, and attracts around 800 people each year to climb.
But China has announced it will cut the number of people attempting to scale Mount Everest from the north by a third this year as part of plans for a major clean-up on the world's highest peak.
The total number of climbers attempting to reach the summit of the world's highest peak at 8850m will be limited to fewer than 300, and the climbing season restricted to spring, state media reports said.
Everest claims multiple victims each year, often in the "death zone" above 8000m, where the air is too thin to sustain human life.
Mountaineers have complained of a rise in dangerously inexperienced climbers attempting to reach the summit, while others have to wait in "traffic jams" and bottlenecks on busy parts of the mountain.
