As a recreational anything I'd say avoid wrecking your body to make some arbitrary numbers nobody will ever care about go up (or down)

Given that the odds of dying on Everest are so high, a bit of ill-advised drug use seems like a minor concern.
Are they?
I thought nowadays the sherpas practically carry you up there so it's of low risk to you.
Both wikipedia [1] and an expedition company [2] seem to put the deaths per year as <10 with it being dominated by people from Nepal who are presumably the sherpas doing all the work.

"The percentage of deaths to successful attempts is around 4%."
4% chance of death sounds very high to me.
I mean, pick a dangerous surgery with a high death %. It's still safe to be the surgeon in that case.
The people dieing are by far the sherpas which you aren't one of.

Most recreational activities don't come with an existing risk of death: PEDs likely reduce this relative risk in many riskier physical endeavors.
