Abandoned on Everest
http://godheadv.blogspot.com/2010/04...n-everest.html

Fascinating blog post on what goes on in Everest's "dead zone" along with some unbelievable pictures.

NSFW warning...not because they're all graphic, but there are pictures of dead, frozen bodies.

You have to be crazy...

Quote:
This morning, however, Green Boots had company. Sitting no more than two feet to the left of the corpse was a man who at first glance appeared to be dead. His gloved hands were on his knees, his hood and hat cast his face in shadow. The only feature visible was the man's severely frostbitten nose, already a greenish black hue. On closer inspection, the vapor from the man's breath could be seen rising.

What happened next entered the folklore of the highest mountain on earth. Every man interviewed gives a different story. What is certain is that every single one of the 40-odd climbers attempting the summit that day left the man in the cave, whose name was David Sharp, to freeze, either by choice, by ignorance, or by misjudging him as a corpse they already expected to see in that infamous cave....

Yep. Everest is a mean, mean place. You have to be insane to even think of trying to summit it.

You'd think that someone would put some funny signs on the corpses, or something.

What I had never thought of, is that most of the dead people are still there....so you are walking through a graveyard, literally, on your way up. Some of those bodies just give me the heebiees...

I love to read about this stuff.


Rep.



Everest is bad, but K2 and a few others are much worse when it comes to death and injury.

"For years, any climber attempting the southern route could see her body, sitting, leaning against her backpack with her eyes open and brown hair blowing in the wind. Despite being so exposed and so visible along the well-trodden climbing route, rescue operations are virtually suicidal in the Death Zone. A Nepalese police inspector and a Sherpa who tried to recover Hannelore's body in 1984 both fell to their deaths."

This blog is quite a find.

What happened to the skin on some of the bodies? There really isn't anything to eat or dispose of the material. Did it just dry up and blow away?
