There are more climbers up there waiting to get to the Summit than there are at Dem rallies

Saw a documentary on Everest once. Climbers get socked with heavy fees because everything they haul up there (food, human waste, etc.) has to either be consumed or hauled down by local guides.
There are also a few scattered corpses of climbers who didn't make arrangements to be hauled down in the event of their demise. If the next of kin is unavailable or otherwise unable to pay to bring them down, they stay.
I can't really see the motivation to join this crowd on an expensive and dangerous journey, but there seems to be no shortage of takers.

She took a selfie on Mount Everest
Shell be...
tumbling down Mount Everest when she comes,
Shell be broken, frozen shattered when she comes.
Shell be flying through the cold air
screaming, Help me, dont just stand there!
And still texting from her iPhone with her thumbs.

‘Just ask a teenage girl.’
That would be kind of painful if she tried.

The New York Times recently published this article So you decided to stick it on your blog and get some credit for it.

In fairness I’d rather give him the click than the scumbag traitors at the NYT.

I’m a little sick of the constant attacks on Freepers who have blogs. I don’t notice or care I just want to read the stories. If blogs aren’t allowed, ok. If they are allowed, then ....

Its a great point. The mortality rate for climbing Everest is, I believe, about 8%.
It is literally a “life and death proposition” and bloody expensive too. If you can’t manage every detail yourself, don’t go.

Im a little sick of the constant attacks on Freepers who have blogs. I'm sorry about that.
I dont notice or care I just want to read the stories.
Wow. Sources are irrelevant, huh?
To: Williams; humblegunner
I personally appreciate knowing when being directed to some site just to produce blog hits.
If I had a blog, and wanted to share its content with fellow FReepers, I would certainly not excerpt it, as many do.
It does seem a bit deceptive for FReepers to be more concerned about getting blog hits, than in sharing something with FR.
JMHO

This reminds me of that idiot French couple who died at White Sands National Monument a couple years ago. I translated a French news version of the story and one of the comments mentioned similar idiots in the Alps trying to walk around on glaciers in tennis shoes.
These morons are everywhere.
