blahh Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 oh also It costs around $25k to $60k to make a trip to the summit. Sometimes it also costs your life. and and the comments on this shit are full of idiots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHATEU Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 i like the photos but this is a pretty well known event so to speak. a friend of mine made it to base camp 4 but never made the summit and has so wild photos of all sorts of bodys. also they show the bodies on that show Everest and go on to explain that you stay where you fall... if i were not so into this type of shit i would have flown the "titanic sunk" or "jfk" headline. haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 i knew a wild percentage of people die trying to climb that shit but not fucking that many. and from the pictures it seems like you just see bodies scattered every damn where. that shits metal as fuck. talk about putting a damper on yer trip. "oh hey, thats just bob, he fell back in 58. shall we..?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 This is interesting. I got into this wild argument with my father a few years ago because he kept insisting that "IT'S THE FUCKING CODE OF THE MOUNTAIN, ______!" when it came to leaving dying people where they were when you passed them, and I disputed. I should probably go apologize, but the argument escalated and I killed him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareOnElmStreet Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 so it's fucking customary to leave a motherfucker where he lies. i guess it makes sense if you paid the 50 some grand to do that shit. why pay for a funeral too....?

i'moffthywallz Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I know right, maybe take a picture of the them hiking to spot on the mountain and visit that spot in like 1 year to pay respects and do some camping. Fucking win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPS Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Planning a trip to Mount Everest? Well rest assured, you will now be able to tag those pictures of yourself going up the mountain before you even get down.

shameless self promotion Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 In the comments.. Tim Grant-"there's only been 200 deaths, it's been climbed many more times, so obviously it's doable. Better to risk your life doing something amazing than to never take a risk and fade into nothing. How many people get to say their graves are landmarks that help hundreds of people a year?" Callum Thompson-"No one, because they are dead." hahahhaha.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I would be pissed if I was a dead Everest climber. It's basically an eternal monument to the fact that you bit off more than you could chew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHATEU Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 it is not customary to leave the dead where they fall its just too much of a risk to others to take the bodys down. between that and expenses they just chill there forever (no pun intended)... the main thing is they dont want other sherpas and climbers to die recovering the dead... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPS Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 They could cut them into small pieces and every survivor climber could take back one piece as a souvenir, a finger, an ear and they also wear some old-school mountain wear that could be easily sold on e-bay, let's be creative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALIgula Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 watch the frontline 'storm over everest' great docu http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/everest/ i actually watched this a while back. but i already knew about all the dead bodies on Everest from wikipedia. ....it was one of those spending 3 hours on wikipedia days. you know... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael Weber Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yes, it's true, mt Everest is very dangerous http://www.everestian.com/mt-everest-en.html. First of all, it is important to keep in mind, that excellent health condition and adequate level of mountain climbing skills, plus a strong desire to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain, is a guarantee of successful summit. It is recommended to constantly experience jogging to keep the blood pressure and heart in adequate condition, ready for extreme conditions.
