We understand you are suicidal but we would be grateful if you would not leave your body on our mountain. It scares the other tourists.

Everest is so dangerous for anyone, regardless of ability or group size. I was part of a climbing team on an expedition to Cho Oyu which is a 8,000m peak just west of Everest. A South Korea team was just ahead of us and they had Sherpas out fixing ropes higher on the mountain. A huge wind came up and blew several Sherpas off the mountain. I never heard that any of them were found.

It would seem to me that they may be able to make the climb, but at a slow rate. That would create blockages on the mountains, slowing everyone’s ascent and descent.That would prove dangerous when there is sudden weather changes. I am not a mountain climber, but I did trek there. Miserable experience as I got altitude sickness.

Used to cost over US $250,000 for a small party. On the way up tourists get to see the frozen bodies of unsuccessful climbers as well as all the human waste in 5 gal pails accumulated since climbing began.

I don’t know anything about mountain climbing but I will make an observation.
In Douglas Baker’s (a WWII pilot) biography, he noted he was surprised how much lighter he was without his legs (one above knee, one below) and he could really easily swing his body around with his arms. Perhaps in certain climbing situations this would be very beneficial.
