Lot's of bodies still in almost perfect frozen shape on that mountain. They once talked of getting them for families, but I assume still there, just too riskly. I think you got have lil nut in you to do that.

Mount Everest’s a pretty tricky climb you know. Most of its up until you reach the very, very top and then it tends to slip away rather sharply…

A few days ago an 82 year climber died in an attempt to reach the summit of Everest. He was hoping to break the record set by a climber by the name of Min Bahadur Sherchan, who scaled Everest at the age of 76 back in 2008.

He had little previous climbing experience too. Seems to me that's pushing it. :nope:

If I die there, just leave me there. Only point me to northwest

Just think in about 1 or 200 yrs they climb up and chop out one of those frozen bodies.

With the giant leap in medicine they revive the guy.
