Mount Everest

Status: public · Confidence: medium (0.685) · Basis: verified_sources

## TL;DR

Mount Everest is the highest mountain above sea level and lies in the Himalayas on the Nepal-China border.

## Core Explanation

The current compact article records stable facts: official height, location, and first confirmed ascent. It does not include live summit/death counts because those figures change and require a maintained mountaineering database.

## Evidence Notes

The previous version used a memoir page to support height, route, death, and traffic claims. This repair keeps only stable facts backed by Britannica and NASA.
