Only two weeks to go for many.<\/p>\n<p>It is always dangerous to note certain individuals climbing as, <\/a>  in my opinion, everyone making the sacrifices to attempt Everest are unique in their own ways and to be lauded for\u00a0pursing a life dream. That said, this post will do a brief look at some of the more unique attempts for 2016 &#8230;. and I know I missed someone!<\/p>\n<p>The common theme for 2016 seems to be climbing without using supplemental oxygen. Of the 7001 summits, \u00a0only\u00a0193 climbers summited without supplemental oxygen through August 2015, or about 2.7%. But more critically, of the 282 deaths, 102 died attempting to summit without using supplemental oxygen.<\/p>\n<h3>North<\/h3>\n<p><del>Professional skier<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hilareeoneill.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hilaree O&#8217;Neill<\/a><\/strong> will also be attempting a no-O&#8217;s summit\u00a0from the north.

They attempted to ski Makalu last autumn, but conditions stopped them. O&#8217;Neill has skied off the summit of many peaks including Cho Oyu, 26,907&#8242;. I can only speculate she will ski potentially off the summit to the Tibet side. Professional photographer and filmmaker, Cory Richards is part of\u00a0the team. <strong>Update<\/strong>: Adrian contacted me to say that O&#8217;Neill had to cancel so it will be just he and Cory doing a no O&#8217;s summit attempt. To further clarify, there are two\u00a0western members along with western guides on Adrien&#8217;s overall team climbing \/guiding with supplemental oxygen. Adrien, the overall team leader, is climbing separately with Cory and not using O&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kilianjornet.cat\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kilian Jornet<\/a><\/strong> has said he will attempt a speed climb of Everest from the north via the north face, Hornbein or Norton according to this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trailrunnermag.com\/component\/content\/article\/1992-kilian-jornet-interview-mount-everest-hobbies-bucket-list\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a>.
