Who's gonna fill his boots, though, once the most famous dead body is removed from Everest?

I thought he had been identified for years, a Japanese guy. Big project to bring any bodies down from Everest.

Is it just me or does the prospect of climbing Everest really sound not all that appealing? Huge crowds, garbage and dead bodies everywhere and extremely expensive. Meh I'm good. Plenty of other mountains out there to explore without those things.

I'm with you on this. I've hiked/talked with three people who summited Everest and while I appreciate the accomplishment it just doesn't sound all that fun. And it's really expensive, not just the guide fees it's also all the gear and training.

You just need to live within a ten-mile radius of Everest and then it'd be totally appealing. Remember, I know how your brain works.

Why can't robot Sherpas bring these bodies down? I'm tired of watching robots do flips and deliver cheese pizzas. They need to get their metal asses up to Everest and assist these recovery missions! Burp.
