There was a series on Discovery channel about climbing Everest. It was brutal. The guy who ran the expedition stayed at base camp watching via a telescope. It was weird who made and who didn’t. Big burly biker guy did not make it, but a retired female school teacher made it, a lower extremity amputee made it to the top but damaged his stump so badly he had to be carried down. They talked about the bodies on Everest. A Japanese fellow was up there. His family wanted him recovered. 19 climbers moved the body like 20 feet before they ran out of oxygen, he is still up there. One fellow was dying, climbers were warned to leave him or there would by 2 bodies instead of one. The expedition leader was roundly criticized for that this is definitely the environment for “social justice”.
