Dead bodies on Mt Everest

RemadE · August 2011

For some reason I always imagined Mt Everest to be a pretty clear place and not host landmarks made from dead bodies. Short but interesting read.

I've heard about this before, didn't really realize it was quite like that.

Fucked up shit, also why I have no interest in climbing Everest.

Lol.

Also, if any of you ever climb Mt. Everest, please make sure you wear some good-looking outerwear. You don’t wanna end up frozen to death in some 90′s florescent Harry from Dumb and Dumber getup, spending all of eternity looking like a goddamn fashion victim. Go out in style.

Apparently, a team was sent out last year to recover some of the dead bodies. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/apr/19/mount-everest-death-zone-clean

Didnt come as a surprise to me as I've read a Bear Grylls book and he paints a vivid picture, but I've never seen those photos before. Wow, wouldnt want to die that way!
