    Eh I can completely understand the drive to conquer something. I don't think people are looking for hero status, they're looking for the self gratification of life accomplishments. And they provide income to the Sherpas that the Nepalese need. It's not like someone's holding a gun to a sherpa's head and forcing them up a mountain or starving their children. Like any tourism, it's a boost for the economy.

    People don't just decide to hike Everest, they train for years.

    Some people train and some not so much. There's companies that let you pay 75K to hike it and they don't require you to have a lot of experience.

    No but you are a fucking moron if you try a hike like that without extensive training.

    The article says that he also suffered altitude sickness, but he survived.

    I ran across this thread while looking for another one, and I wanted to see what they ended up doing with her body. I have a huge issue with them putting so many people at risk to retrieve her body. I think everyone climbing Everest knows that if you die there it's really too dangerous to try to recover your body.

    They have been doing quite a bit of body cleanup in the last few years, but it's still very risky for the rescuers. I know the locals don't like the bodies on their sacred mountain, but I wonder if it's worth the risk to remove them?
