The Indian tectonic plate is crashing into the Eurasian plate and piling up the Himalayas. The city indicated in the pic is where the 2005 earthquake in the (Pakistan) Kashmir region killed over 86,000 people.

She was from Edison and previously worked at the East Orange General Hospital.
Girawong was part of a group that had trained at the lower Khumbu glacier before climbing the mountain.
Her last post on Facebook was about the snow on Everestt a few hours before she died.
"Day 28 on this arduous journey , snow is falling & my food cravings are at an all time high...Is a crunchy spicy tuna roll with eel sauce too much to ask for?" she posted.

What, no Starkbux?
Because everything else in their lives is.
Indeed
The guided climbing expeditions appear to range from $25 grand (spartan) to $100 grand (deluxe) per person.
Not sure if she had the deluxe plan or not.
Because if it was work, liberals wouldn't do it.
I think climbing Mt Everest is like winning a sports trophy. The trophy will be the photo of them standing on the top of the world. I can understand people wanting to do that.
They have to be in super human physical condition and to ignore the risks. This time the risks caught up with them.
It was still the tallest then, but now it is the tallerest.

Just another unsuspecting member of the Everest Death Club, over 250 and counting..
Once upon a time the Appalachian mountains were bigger than the Himalaya are now. They were created the same way, when two continente smashed into each other. The Alps are still growing sa the African plate is driving Italy (which is on the African plate) like a nail into Europe. A way to think of it is when you push your foot into a throw rug, and the rug pops up away from you.
The mostly 1% types who have made Everest their playground have truly trashed the place.
Or at least turn it back into the way when Sir Edmund Hillary first climbed.
Take away all the ropes, ladders, coke machines and the other amenities that make it a tourist destination and maybe there won't be so many amateurs walking it.......
But before that, at least dig out all the dead bodies, send them back down the mountain and ship them home.
But they weren't from New Jersey, so they're just a statistic. Marisa Eve Girawong was an individual!
“But they weren’t from New Jersey, so they’re just a statistic”
I think 99 and 44/100’s of the people who pump gas in NJ are from Pakistan.
There is a Tibetan monastery near Washington, NJ. Never knew it was there when I lived nearby.
Why?
Why would you want to shut climbing Everest down?
These are adults who choose the risk.
So what if they die?
It is their choice to make the risk.
Stop acting like a control freak leftist!

Interesting. My daughter lives in Cape May. She is not positive about New Jersey, hopes to leave soon.
Cue the innumerable articles about the mountains of trash and human excrement painting Everest from these “adventurers.” And those who produce the same piles of refuse in urban settings are considered mentally ill.
I left for Virginia in 1992. And I was in a nice part of northern NJ, out in the sticks.
I have relatives in Haddonfield, near Philadelphia, and in Ocean City.
