Abandoned on Everest
http://godheadv.blogspot.com/2010/04...n-everest.html

Fascinating blog post on what goes on in Everest's "dead zone" along with some unbelievable pictures.

NSFW warning...not because they're all graphic, but there are pictures of dead, frozen bodies.

You have to be crazy...

Quote:
This morning, however, Green Boots had company. Sitting no more than two feet to the left of the corpse was a man who at first glance appeared to be dead. His gloved hands were on his knees, his hood and hat cast his face in shadow. The only feature visible was the man's severely frostbitten nose, already a greenish black hue. On closer inspection, the vapor from the man's breath could be seen rising.

What happened next entered the folklore of the highest mountain on earth. Every man interviewed gives a different story. What is certain is that every single one of the 40-odd climbers attempting the summit that day left the man in the cave, whose name was David Sharp, to freeze, either by choice, by ignorance, or by misjudging him as a corpse they already expected to see in that infamous cave....

No one had ever climbed Everest barefoot.

Either that, or someone wanted his boots after ... you know.

Well, I guess the lesson here is that campus rape is no match for mountainside masturbation.

Neither have I, but I'm pretty sure there is a point where you are exerting your utmost effort to simply survive yourself, and you innately know that there is nothing else you can give. You have no deeper reserves to tap, and that to take on the additional burden of another person is to do nothing more than perish with her.

In 2007, Ian Woodall, a British climber, returned to Everest to bury the bodies of three climbers he passed on his way to the summit. One of the climbers, a woman named Francys Arsentiev, was still alive when Woodall reached her during his initial ascent. Her first words to him were "don't leave me behind." The grim reality, though, is that Woodall could not have done anything for her without jeopardizing his own life or the lives of his team members. He was forced to leave her to perish alone.

Well, at least he got to finish he climb to the top. I'm glad he feels good about his choice.


That kind of embodies the screwed-up system in place right now. Anybody with a pair of boots and a big check can make the attempt, it seems. If you get in trouble then somebody else who wrote a big check has to take a really write-off if they're going to help you, which isn't fair to them if you shouldn't have been up there in the first place.

Maybe there's some sort of vetting system in place that I don't know about, but it seems like you shouldn't be allowed to try these mountains unless you have a strong shot at finishing.

That said, if 94 percent of people make it, maybe that's the right proportion. If you're in the bottom 6 percent you're calling forth the HMS Beagle.

That said, I would have a hard time passing someone to get to the summit instead of trying to help them.

It seems popular enough. Why hasn't Virgin Branson created an escalator to the summit. 10k a pop with Aramark concessions.

I bet I could climb Everest right now. I mean, I'd take some oxygen because of my asthma, but I could make it.
