A record number of climbers on Mount Everest this spring has led to massive crowding and single file lines near the summit, increasing the risk of altitude sickness. Eleven people have died this year alone climbing the highest summit in the world.

Chris Kulish, 62, of Boulder, died Monday while descending from the highest summit in the world, his family confirmed in a statement. The circumstances surrounding his death were not clear.

Kulish, a lawyer and member of the"7 Summit Club," climbed Everest with a small group in"near ideal weather," according to his family. He died after returning to the camp below the peak.Kulish was"an inveterate climber of peaks in Colorado, the West and the world," his family said, adding that he"passed away doing what he loved."

The death of another climber, 55-year-old Donald Lynn Cash of Utah, who fainted shortly after reaching the Everest peak due to altitude sickness, was reported last week. Cash had conquered the Seven Summits -- the tallest mountains on each continent, guide company Pioneer Adventure said on its website.
