I doubt that's from Everest. Mallory's body was found decades later in pristine condition. Bodies don't rot up there.

Other than the Hillary Step, it is largely non-technical. Greed kills there.

In some societies the most honorable form of burial is for the corpse to be left to be eaten by birds.

If you can walk up stairs you can climb Mount Everest. Same thing really; Sherpas have pretty much made a foolproof path that anyone can walk up.

Yea. It's one of the last vestiges of colonialism. The Sherpas pretty much carry their white masters up the mountain, but since the Sherpas are considered mere colonial subjects, little more than animals, they're never given credit for having been along and also climbing Everest.

Once agin you have shown what little you know.

Sherpas are now well known for ripping off stupid climbers who are not part of large company tours, and have even been known to demand more money when halfway up the mountain.

So? Europeans might think they're submissive colonial subjects, but they're not.

Do you see anything as not being political, you fucking moron?

White man just took a shit. He is keeping the poor man down.

The ice fall ain't too friendly either.

What basement dwelling FCers don't understand is that when you climb a sizable mountain, the human brain starts to get into the most basic of survival modes: climb, drink, eat, sleep, climb, etc.

Sitting comfortably with the heating on enjoying a coke it is impossible to understand how the brain works when you are tired after 20+ days of climbing, at a high altitude, risk of death, etc.

Oh bullshit, read "into thin air" -- most people who successfully climb everest don't even train for it. Real athletes (sherpas) sometimes literally carry them up.

read into thin air? i've been on everest myself and made the call to turn around 300 meters below the summit

an untrained person wouldn't even make it to base camp!

all those "yuppy" climbers are also trained, sometimes not good enough, but still trained. the issue is more relative lack of experience as a result of which they don't know what to do when the shit hits the fan

K12 is not Everest you fucking moron!!

I know of K2 but what is K12??

no shit, douchebag, i didn't say it was, but you're the retard who doesn't know what k12 is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K12

You are both morans.

Going back to the home page of this photo we see that it is a PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM in LEWISTON, MONTANA and the K12 stands for K thru 12, or kindergarten thru 12th grade.

Took one look at the Step and said fuck it, eh? Pussy.

That's where the sherpas have to stop, since the white people don't want them getting any credit for climbing Everest.

That probably scared him.
