Week 3 of 2025 of the TidyTuesday project provided a dataset on mountaineering in the Himalayas.
Within this data, I looked at the various missions undertaken by mountaineers between May 2020 and June 2024.
In the timeline below, it is immediately apparent that there is some form of seasonality in the timing of the missions. While most missions were successful, bad weather and poor conditions were the main reasons for early termination.
Feel free to explore this data a little further yourself. You can filter for a specific time period in the timeline at the bottom, or use the bar graph at the top right to filter for a specific reason why a mission was terminated. If you hover over the dots, you find more detail about the mission.
