I read a story years ago (readers digest?) About a guy injured on Everest lying on the trail begging for help. He said many passed him including a group who claimed they didnt speak English. Someone finally helped him down and later he was drinking at the lodge and saw that group. They were drinking and talking loud. In perfect English.

There are lots of things I want to do before I die

Climbing a mountain littered with dead bodies is not one of them

Everyone’s grandparents had to climb Mount Everest every day up and down to get to and from school.

"Where are all the bodies on Mt everest?"
Probably on Mt everest

[JamaisArriere]

Remember, every single body on Everest was once a highly motivated person…

[quaktoons]

Ohhh I get it now, mount everest... Mount EVER-REST. It's in the name.

I've seen pictures of the bodies left on Everest, still dressed in their climbing gear and boots. It kinda looks like their sleeping. Little creepy

Most fascinating to me is American Francys Arsentiev called Sleeping Beauty who reached the summit without bottled oxygen but died on her way down, possibly getting sick and plummeted. Eerily two climbers saw her laying flat on her back, body spasm and possibly alive unfortunately rescuing her would not be possible. When they approached her face was frostbitten, her skin frozen hard, pearl white, describing her look like Sleeping Beauty. The weather turned dangerous for the climbers to help her. Years later haunted by her death, the climbers went back to find her still laying on her back. This time the climbers wrapped her in an American flag and moved her from view.

As much as I am in love with this mountain, I could agree with closing it down to tourists. It's going to get dirtier and more people will die, but who will stop humans from doing whatever they want at whatever consequence.

I checked into climbing Mt. Everest about 20 years ago and back then it cost $67K. You also have to complete an application and you have to verify that you have at least five years of climbing experience and it said that making the summit of Mt. McKinley was a prerequisite. The form also said they recommended that you have climbed and summited on one of the European mountains such as the Matterhorn or Mt. Blanc. Once I saw 67K that was enough for me to forget about it once and for all.

Yes! I was waiting for a video talking about the 100's of bodies and what happens on Everest.

George Mallory's body was preserved for 75 years when he was discovered in 1999

Back in 1989, I studied abroad and went to Mt. Snowdon in Wales. We were only allowed 5/8 the of the way up due to high winds. The winds were so strong I had to put on my sunglasses and cover my face with a scarf because it felt like the wind was going to lift my contact lenses right out of my eyes. I can't even imagine what Mt. Everest is like. I have no worries about ever being found on that mountain because if I ever see it, it will be from the ground or as a spirit in the afterlife.

"This is robbery..." Yeah... maybe you will consider to clean up your f*cking mess... With all the gear they bring among them...is it so hard to take a trash bag with you?

I swear the info graphics show are mind readers, this is like the 3rd time I’ve been interested in something then they have uploaded a vid on that subject the same day

[loganstewart]

One thing I will never understand is why do people still want to climb this giant tomb

[billy]

They should leave all the bodies there to show as a warning what can happen if you are off your game, even for a split second. Here's some advice, if you are concerned about your well-being and your loved ones getting closure, don't climb that mountain in the first place.

They'll rise again when the long night comes...

"Green boots" was moved and dropped off the edge a few years ago. He's not visible anymore.

All the ghosts must be having a field day scaring and playing tricks on the Yeti up there.
