Can you see dead bodies on Everest?

While Western Guides make around 50,000 dollars each climbing season, Sherpa Guides make a mere 4,000, barely enough to support their families. Although this is more money than the average person in Nepal makes, their earnings do come at a cost – Sherpas risk their lives with every climb.

Why do they leave dead bodies on Everest?

Standard protocol is just to leave the dead where they died, and so these corpses remain to spend eternity on the mountaintop, serving as a warning to climbers as well as gruesome mile markers.

Why are Sherpas so good at climbing?

Sherpas are renowned in the international climbing and mountaineering community for their hardiness, expertise, and experience at very high altitudes. It has been speculated that part of the Sherpas' climbing ability is the result of a genetic adaptation to living in high altitudes.

What were Rob Hall last words?

During his expedition to the summit of Everest in spring of 1996, Fischer begins to suffer from serious fatigue, in part because his guide, Anatoli Boukreev, isn't doing his job effectively. ... Fischer is unable to return to his tent in the midst of the storm, and he eventually freezes to death.

Has anyone lost in space?

Does it ever rain on Everest?
