FINALLY, someone got that!!
Everyone else really answered me about the trash :)
That is pretty disgusting!
[ There is no more selfish being than a mountaineer.
Regardless of national origin they are despicable one and all. ]
HEY! I know a guy, who knows a guy, who climbed Everest and the guy who climbed Everest is a lawyer and ... oh, never mind.
Well now, those poor souls were definitely killed by climate change. And since they caused the change in their climate, it was AGC. First deaths from AGC. Sound the global alarm !!!!! Lol.
[And don’t forget all the bodies....like 300+ of them!]
3 things I never try to fight:
1) Rush-hour traffic
2) The ocean
3) Freezing weather in high mountainous areas (to those who do and survive, I’m impressed)
The corpses?
So confused
“There is no more selfish a being than a mountaineer.”
Well, yes and no. Toward anyone not another climber, they are selfish as hell. Toward another climber, they are somewhat less so. What’s more, all the honest climbers admit it.
I am definitely down for some rock climbing!!
Ya get no rush ... from bowling!
You wanna rush? Drop a bowling ball on your toe
Now for me, I’m not that fond of tuna fish. Tuna fish sandwiches and mayo and heading outdoors? Sounds like a bad combination to me.
Collecting frozen poopcicles off the mountain... talk about a sh*tty job.
I wish I could get my dog to generate #2 waste in this physical state.

They are too weak. Things drop where they drop. They aren’t mentally intact at that altitude. Not saying what happens is right, just why it happens.
“Green boots”, believed to be the body of a climber from India I think, was literally in such a position that everyone on the way to the summit from the Nepalese side (which is the most popular one) had to literally step over his body. The Sherpa guides use walkietalkies and refer to the site itself as “Green Boots”. The body of British climber David Sharp was also frozen in place (it remains on the mountain, I think, but was removed from sight at his family’s request). About five years ago apparently the body of “Green Boots” was rolled out of sight, or perhaps off a cliff (no one knows, or at least no one admits to anything). Anyway, it’s no longer in the path.
