Prayers UP. He left behind a 3-day-old daughter, and his body will be left on the mountain.

There are a few things you can COUNT on me never doing.

Climbing Everest is high on that list.

Mt Everest is as close to heaven as you get!

Anyway how old was this dude? If he was over 45 why participate in a grueling sport which can be life threatening?

Tonight at dinner our 15 year old son said he wants to climb Everest . . . not a dream I really want to encourage. He loves to climb, and scares the daylights out of me. I don’t think he heard about this death yet, but I’m sure he wouldn’t think the odds apply to him.

John Delaney, founder and CEO of Intrade, the prediction market, has died while trying to climb Mt. Everest.

Sad and tragic -- but what were the odds?
