Re: There Are Over 200 Bodies on Mount Everest
I will ALWAYS find this beyond stupid.
Talk about a stupid way to die. I mean it's literally NO point to climbing a mountain. It accomplishes nothing. It's not like you're trying to find the original Kwik-E-Mart or something up there.

Pretty crazy. You would think after seeing so many dead bodies up there that people would know what they are doing is ridiculous and foolish.

I have greater things on my bucket list and this is definitely not on it.

Yeah, that's what I always say when I walk past the cemetery.

I guess you and I just have to agree to disagree here.
To me, mountains are beautiful, and the ascent a spiritual undertaking. It's about reminding oneself how puny one is in the grand scheme of things, how fleeting our time on this rock is.
The sensation of being on a mountaintop on a full moon, with clouds hurling literally around you is something I could never hope to fully relate.
It's another world up there, and you only know it if you know it.
Re: There Are Over 200 Bodies on Mount Everest
I can understand the desire to accomplish climbing Mt. Everest. Someone I know recently went to Africa and climbed Kilimanjaro. I'm not friends with him, really, so I don't know exactly what his feelings are on it, but it's something to be proud of, I think.
I suppose, there's a right way and a wrong way to climb. I'm sure if you prepare yourself for all foreseeable emergencies, you can make the climb safely.
That said, I would never do that. Lol. I'll jump off the Stratosphere in LV all day long, but not climb a mountain
