Bad timing - this hits just when everybody is there for the climbing season.
I just finished the book by Jamling Tenzing Norgay (son of the guy who climbed Everst with Hillary). Highly recommended.

The world is a dangerous place, and events like this demonstrate that fact.
I'll be heading out for my (9-10 mile) walk in a bit, and will ponder this latest tragedy, in between songs on my iPod. We've become immune to thousands of babies being aborted every day, but this story should be good for filler for several news cycles.
