I have read that there are still several bodies up there from years past and that they could not be recovered. Do you know anything about this?
All of them are still up there. They don't recover bodies from that high up. It's too dangerous for the rescue party.

Yep. Most of the time, its too dangerous to get the bodies down, so they freeze in place. I've recently read where (its believed, anyways. some of the "landmark bodies" have disappeared over the last few years) some chinese expedition cleared a lot of bodies off of the main routes by pushing them off of the routes or into crevasses. Just so people cant see them.

4 of those guys died from carbon monoxide, they were cooking in their tent because of the weather.
That's what I figured. There's only two ways you die in the tent normally (other than an avalanche into the camp). Carbon monoxide or you're stranded and run out of supplies and waste away (ala K2 1986). Or cerebral of pulmonary edema. Forgot about that one.

I've never understood the fascination of climbing to a height where your body starts shutting down and dying. Call me old fashioned.
Same, I mean. I'd go to base camp and snap a picture or something, but thats good enough for me.

should prop them up and put arrows pointing in different directions telling hikers how far away NYC, London, etc are...that would be pretty cool

I agree. At least get creative with them instead of leaving them littering the area.

Nah I think it's a guy who died earlier this season or in 2016.

A guy that works for my company summited Everest on Sunday morning and Lhotse on Tuesday morning. #1 and #4 highest peaks in the world. I don't know him but he's a badass as far as I'm concerned.

I took a mountaineering course last year. Climbed Rainier. Taking another course in July. Hope to climb Denali in 2018 or 19. I doubt my balls are big enough to ever seriously consider Everest.

Be safe on Denali if you get there. That is one serious mountain. It is so big that it creates its own weather patterns. There's a great book out about the 1967 Denali (McKinley) disaster.

Yeah, it's definitely no cake walk from what I've read and heard from more experienced climbers. 3rd most prominent peak in the world. I plan to do another mountaineering course and another intermediate climb before my attempt. Are you a climber? I'll check that book out. Thanks

I'm not a climber but I'm fascinated by mountain climbing particularly in the Himalaya and Karakoram.
Denali is the tallest base to peak mountain on land and the weather gets crazy there in the summer up high.

Most people that attempt to climb everest are beta bitches who have small dicks that think they have something to prove. Real men dont have to prove what they are. And in result, are back home slaying bitches while these beta cucks are dying on a mounting proving their manhood

I'm amazed that there are people that solo climb Everest with no oxygen.
