Bodies on Everst
Permalink  
 

The internet says that of the 200 plus climbers that have died climbing Mt Everest 120 of them are still up on the mountain.  Because of the altitude and weather theres no way to recover the bodies, so I guess the climb to summit is like going to through a real life horror house.  Reading these stories its pretty sad.  The one Canadian lady made it the summit, celebrated for 25mins and then ran out oxygen as she started her descent.  The internets also says the cost to climb is $35,000 to $40,000.  So theres at least one thing I know I'm never going to pay $40,000 for.

So then all this packing of commercial beef jerky and stuff like that is kind of unnecessary.

People in the future will wonder if Mt. Everest was some type of crude ancient burial grounds, where the old and dying were sent up with small insufficient oxygen tanks to die slow and painful deaths far away from the rest of society. Then someone will explain, "no no no these were the very affluent and wealthy who spent large sums of money during their vacation weeks to see if they could make it to the top of the mountain". Then everyone will shake their heads and say, "no that hypothesis is fucking stupid and makes no sense, this is definitely some type of ancient burial ground."

 Naw, There will be a special program on TV where Geraldo Rivera the 8th will go looking for the secret chamber of Al Capone on the very tippy top.

The weirdest thing are the ones laying at the base camp.  "Looks like space is tight guys, sorry Steve you're going to have to pitch your tent next to skeletor over there.  Don't worry he won't bite, and hey if he doesn't kill you while you sleep the temperature and lack of oxygen probably will.....so sleep tight and don't let the frost bite...nyuk nyuk".

 By the time these dead climbers make the base camp, we've already picked their pockets, and me and my sherpas let 'em freeze!

Sometimes "ego" exceeds physical ability and common sense.
