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....

Thanks. I have been meaning to read The Climb for a while but kind of forgot about it. Will also pick up the Ed Viesturs book. I have also been meaning to read more about K2 which seems much more technical than Everest and I recall something similar to the Everest debacle happening in the 80's.

This is a pretty interesting interview with Ed and K2. He says he got away with a really dumb decision. The reason he's still alive is because he rarely did stuff like this.

Dang, did you guys read about the Irukandji Syndrome? Sounds like probably the worst thing a human being can experience. /shudder

But I'd think that freezing in a meat freezer is worse than freezing on Everest. It has to be colder there than on the mountain.
