I'm going to do it someday, but I'm waiting until they put in a cable car to the top like they are planning for Kilimanjaro. None of this climbing nonsense.

Literally frightening to see the packed queue of climbers each April/May on the final cornice covered arête. Certain death from a slip either side, many thousands of feet below into Nepal or Tibet.

Perversely quite the opposite as far as I'm aware, although I imagine most of those subsequently drawn to Everest as a result only did the base camp trek, as did two friends of mine after reading his book.

I feel sorry for the rescue teams either having to risk 'their own' lives to saves these numpties, or indeed go up to retrieve the bodies.
Surely only a matter of time before the ****ing Instagram bloggers start doing this ****ing hand-holding shot bollocks up there.
I actually saw a couple do this in the i360 the other week for real. Followed by the 'make a heart shape with your fingers' one too. I nearly puked on the spot.
Get ready Everest, these ***** are surely on their way....

Another one gone today, the death toll rises to 10 this season...
More deadly than the Isle of Man TT or Cheltenham for the horses !

They’re often killed doing that, so rescues frequently don’t happen. With the dead or severely injured left in situ. Climbers pass the frozen bodies of people who fell many years before.

They should make it to base camp.
It’s a funny old world for sure.
Quick way to kill yourself, I should think. It’s hard enough acclimatising as it is!
Nobody tries to retrieve dead bodies. They’re used as way markers.
i mean 7 dead this week as hundreds of climbers "queue" in the death zone @ 8000 ft to make a final approach to the summit and get their picture taken , what an absolute lead off bucket list bollockery.......a real indication of how ****ing stupid people are.
Agree.
Dawin's law, though.....
