RISK and EXPENSE On EVEREST to Remove Perished Climbers #short #everest #survival

In 2016 three indian climbers died trying to summit Mount Everest. Two of them were abandoned by their guides near the top. In 2017, the Indian government funded an expensive mission to retrieve their bodies.

Over 300 have lost their lives on Mount Everest. Should great expense and risk be taken to remove them, or should they remain where they are as a reminder of the perils of high altitude mountaineering?

What do you think?

ALL Everest climbers should have a separate insurance policy that THEY have to fund, that pays for the body recovery if they die.This should NOT be funded by taxpayers!

They need to spend some money to clean up the Dump up there.
Funny how the supplies can make it up there but the trash can’t make it down.

[dzidziolus]

Risking other people's lives to retrieve heavy frozen bodies at such altitude is ridiculous. Once you die on Everest, you become part of it. Every climber knows the risk they take.

[ricpowers]

If i died on the mountain, i belong to the mountain.

[janiceconstante]

What should be done is to clean up the mountain...disgarded oxygen bottles, old guide ropes, destroyed tents, etc.

[DeadDave]

They should remain as warnings to others that the risk is real. People forget how much of a risk they are taking.

[NavigatorMother]

Their "guides" did NOT "abandon" these "climbers".
Their guides were Sherpas whose experience, knowledge and understanding of the mountain and its weather, safety, risks and trails; and mountaineering, and its equipment, safety, potential danger and all its training - made them critical advisors as to whether a climb should be begun or abandoned. If the Indian climbers chose not to listen to these guardians of the mountain trails, (then, with all due respect to the dead, and I am sorry) but I am not at all surprised all three passed away not long into their fatal trek. It was always going to be a tragedy due to over- confidence and blind hubris.

Every climber should have to pay a flat fee to a fund to retrieve/remove their body if they die on the mountain. Average the number of climbers per year, average the number of deaths, and the costs associated with retrieval, and come up with a fee for everyone. Teams pay the fee for their sherpas.
Once there is a decent amount allocated, then use a certain percentage every year for cleanup of the garbage left on the mountain.

[silaslee]

They weren't abandoned. It's every man for himself up there. If you're injured or incapacitated a rescuer could very well die trying to bring you down. Climbers, especially professional climbers, know this and must accept the risk of being left in the death zone should something happen.

[kirkjohnson]

No public money should be spent to retrieve bodies.

[joegodbout]

Have each climber pay a $50, 000 fee that can be used if they're killed. If not, they get the money back.

[lauraashleigh]

I want to summit as well and I have told my entire family I don’t want my body coming back leave it at the mountain if I die !!! If I get into trouble. Leave me there to die. Don’t ever risk another’s life to save me from doing something I already knew was dangerous!!! Also the Sherpas are the true heroes 💜 they should be treated way better & paid a lot more !!!! Period !!! ❤

[pfaffbm]

Climbers pay a deposit to cover the cost of their rescue/recovery. When they make it back down alive, they get the deposit back. If they die, the deposit gets used to fund the recovery.

[edwardsefner]

They were likely abandoned by their guide because the guides life was at risk guiding people who don't belong on Mount Everest.

[gailhitson]

They know and accept the risk when they climb Everest. They also know they must walk back down on their own two legs, the same way they ascended the mountain, or else the mountain claims their bodies. Forever.

[dmrkkla]

This may sound sick and psychopathic but they should remain there.
They are apart of the whole experience, scenery and ambience of climbing those Mountains(Mt. Everest, K2, etc...).
Perfect decorations reminder that every step you make towards the summit.
You are literally walking on Death Row.

[RiverBottomBoys.]

As long as the rescuers volunteered, I think it's honorable that they want a proper burial for their fellow countrymen.

[genemorgan]

Having experienced Nepal, I think the bodies of the fallen should remain where they fell. Body recovery is achievable, however the risk of further loss of life is huge. I think that no amount of money is worth further loss of life.

[asifkhan]

They should be remained, and remembered ❤
