IMO the main reason there were fewer deaths is because of the ratio of Sherpa/Guides to climbers. Madison Mountaineering, the outfit that Ryan Mitchell is climbing with has only four client climbers and 11 Guide/Sherpas. That is a huge ratio of guides and Sherpas to each individual climber. Instead of leaving O2 at Camp four, the Sherpas are hauling the O2 bottles all the way up so that if a climber needs O2 it can immediately be given. A ratio of 11 people assisting 4 climbers is new this year. Most of the expeditions have a minimum of one Sherpa per climber and the Sherpas are staying with the climber, which is different than in past years.
The bad part of that is demonstrated by the Kenyan man whose Sherpa reported that he was suffering apparently from HAPE, the Sherpa was trying to give him O2 and the guy was so out of it be was refusing. He was found dead and the Sherpa is missing. I honestly hope the Sherpa simply said "screw this" and walked down that mountain right past base camp and is sitting back home in his living room making plans to do something else for a living. The fact that a Sherpa is required to stay with a climber that was clearly doing something dangerous and putting himself and others at risk is just insane. I truly hope that Sherpa just walked off that mountain, I would applaud him for that. Sadly, that is probably not what happened.
I am not convinced that the solution to all the inexperienced climbers and climbers that insist on climbing without O2 is to sacrifice even more Sherpa lives. The overall death count is less, but now for each climber death there has been the Sherpa also lost in case where the climber had a Sherpa.

It looks absurd.
If it weren't for most climbers having sherpas helping them & those amazing men being reliant on the money for supporting their families, I tthink the authorities would want to wind this down now. Then again the revenue it generates is what also helps Nepal & Tibet
A place that has long dead bodies that can lead the way, obscene amounts of rubbish & debris, it is beginning to be more notorious for the chaos than the effort of reaching the summit of which some egos are much higher
