Dutch news is reporting it's altitude sickness, he died at 8300m after summiting yesterday.

Another Dutch guy was in his team, who happens to be The First Man With Multiple Sclerosis To Summit.

There's a solo female climber stuck near the summit of Canada's tallest mountain due to earthquakes loosening a bunch of seracs and causing avalanches, making descent too dangerous.

it comes from the campaigns to get women doing self-exams and mammograms to increase early detection of breast cancer. and it was wildly successful,

My mom worked 25 years as a technician doing mammograms and when she retired a study came out that death reduction % attributable to the program was in the single digits. Mostly because when you have an aggressive form of breast cancer you're as good as dead by the time you find it (either as lump or on a mammogram). Most of the reduction came from improvements in treatment which you can argue is due to increased awareness, I'm not knocking it mind you.
