Why in the hell play tag with a Great White Shark?
Just shaking my head.
He Ya all, watch this!!
What did they have on Hillary Clinton?
RIP.
He died as he lived - bragging about stuff no one cares about. RIP
Pointless exercise in ego. “I climbed Mt. Everest.” Yea, well so did some dude in a wheelchair and a guy with prosthetic legs and a 90 year old lady. Hopefully, no guides were harmed in this experiment.
Except for the sherpas, aren't they all foreign climbers?

You puts your bets and you takes your chances.
Adios and prayers for your family who have to live with your suicidal notions of risk.
No real sympathy here.
Notwithstanding catastrophic failure of equipment or snow packs causing death, hypoxia causes you to do strange things, such as walking into the void thinking it is a step. They finally found Mallory but others just disappear.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Joe: “Hey, it’s freezing cold and extremely dangerous and some of the climbers die and are never found again.”
Jack: “Awesome. Let’s go dude. Here’s my $11,000.”
Somehow I don’t see myself doing this. I love adventuring, but I hate the cold.
There were four new deaths just yesterday. Yikes.

Interestingly, the US doctor who just died almost died in an avalanche after the 2015 earthquake. He had made the summit previously, so he wasn't even doing it for bragging rights this time. So many people have now gotten to the top that it doesn't seem like such an impressive accomplishment anymore.
Ego trippers paying the price.
Who gives “a rat’s ass” about them.
Spoiled rich trying to climb a big rock so that they can say they did it. Worse yet, costing the locals a fortune in rescue efforts when something goes wrong.
I would suggest that they go “volcano diving” next time.
I’ve been to the top of Pikes Peak. I’m satisfied.
“Mount Everest....Forbidding....Aloof.....Terrifying.....”
Why don’t these people take the back stairs?
It is far easier as the stairs have hand rails.....
Clever.
