8 people have died. Find another sport you stupid people. Die to climb a stupid mountain. Geee-zussss! When will people get a clue? Stupid is as stupid does. I wonder what the dying guy's last thoughts were: "wow, I almost made it to the top, but at least I die doing something I wanted to do." Great legacy. Will there be a democratic call for climbing control??? I doubt it.

The main consideration here is that mountain climbing is what cost this guy his legs in the first place!!!!

Great, so he climbed Everest with no legs...now he's going to lose his fingers!!!!

The thing that I like most about mountain climbing is that when people die from it, you don't have to feel bad about it. It gives you a get-out-of-grief-free-card.
