Nothing like performing on the worlds highest stage :)


Police in Nepal are investigating an alleged fight between two famous European climbers and their Nepalese mountain guides on Mount Everest.
Switzerland's Ueli Steck and Simone Moro from Italy were at 7,470m (24,500ft) when the brawl occurred.
The pair allegedly ignored orders to hold their climb and triggered an icefall which hit the Sherpas laying fixed ropes. The climbers deny this.

I'm fully with the Sherpas on this one, it sounds like the two climbers were being too cocky and the Sherpas were trying to keep them safe.
You disrespect the mountain and it will take you.

Yep, listen to the guys who live there, not the Europeans that visited a couple of times but think they know better.

I doubt they'll find an abundance of Sherpas willing to assist should they visit again.
