They can have it!!! I have heard that the climbers have to step over the dead bodies of other climbers.That guy is lucky he didn't lose his life. They say the altitude and air is so thin that the climbers go to sleep and they are done, their bodies shut down. They say it takes 20 people to bring down one dead climber,so many dead bodies are up there frozen.The Nepal guides are freaked out by the dead and will not touch them. You screw up in a team and you are on your own because it becomes your survival vs everyone else.

Dam... just looked him up.

They found him about 800ft from the top,
Don't know of he made it to top and was on way down or never made it?

To put in perspective... the new world trade building is 1776ft worth spire... he was still half building short... more or less

Most of these guys pay 60k for some Sherpas to haul them up the mointain.

lol he wanted to go solo with no mountaineering experience? rofl, as punishment, they should make him go forth with it. That would be a sure fire death sentence!

Maybe that was his plan all along?

Into thin air is an interesting read if you want a personal account to Everest and what can happen.
