Hiker Left for Dead on Mount Everest | Reader's Digest



I guess at a high enough altitude some people become cold-blooded.

The challenge isn't so much making the summit it having enough left to make it back down

I'd never in a billion years would want to climb Everest

I loved the title of this thread, U! It's on my bucket list: to mountain climb with assholes.

 

[Mr. H.]

My guess is that Everest is climbed by wealthy (it's expensive) elitist asshole Liberal enviro-nut jobs, yet it's a big garbage dump. Ironic, innit?

If you want to mountain climb with assholes, may I nominate Luds and NYC? Though I doubt they'd make it from their fatboy scooters to the rickshaw on the first leg of the journey..the airport to their room in Bangkok.

Not at all uncommon for climbers to be left simply because its not possible to get them down.

HowStuffWorks Are there dead bodies on Mount Everest

And, google images. Its sad and macabre but they died doing what they love and they knew the risks.

Over 200 Dead Bodies on Mount Everest Sometimes Interesting

Some died peacefully in their sleep, while others (who fell and/or became injured) were left to die slowly of hypothermia. Until recently, the statistics were nearly one in four climbers dies attempting to reach the summit. Advancements in technology and experience have led to a better survival rate of climbers. Currently about 1,000 climbers a year attempt to reach the summit, and on average 15-20 perish.

You really think that all RWs are too lazy to climb a mountain?

Interesting.

Conservatives are probably just to practical to spend a small fortune just to climb to a garbage dump / graveyard Luddley !!

 

[pismoe]

I mean if it wasn't so cold up there that place sure would be stinky ehh Luddley ??
