About this project

Project Purpose

The purpose of this project is to explore the impact of seasonal changes on Mount Everest expeditions. By analyzing real historical data, this report aims to reveal how success rates, death rates, and oxygen use vary depending on whether climbers attempt the summit in Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter.

 Dataset

Final Dataset

The cleaned and processed dataset includes the following key tables:

  1. Expeditions – Includes each expedition’s year, peak, season, and country.
  2. Members – Contains individual climber details like age, gender, citizenship, success, oxygen use, and death status.
  3. Peaks – Metadata about climbing peaks, including Everest and others.

  • Removed duplicate rows and fixed type mismatches
  • Merged relevant columns using primary/foreign key relationships.
  • Added new columns:
    • Decade (e.g., 1990s, 2000s)
