Climber discovers frozen body of friend

Climber discovers frozen body of friend[^] I thought this was interesting. I've never understood mountain climbing. A tall cliff is one thing...but Everest? I bet when you get to the top all you can see is clouds, assuming you haven't gone snow blind like this guys friend.

Yeah, its pretty hard work, and not particularly rewarding. Highest I have been is 19,000. That was bad enough. Rather do it on a ski lift these days. :)

On the other hand, I got interested in Mountain climbing though I have not done any real climb yet. It seems lot of fun (actually it is much better for you brain and mind then just your body), I do want to start with climbing Mount Hood this year or next.

That'll get you a frosty reception.

I've been to about 39000. But that was in a plane... :)

Everest holds the bodies of at least 200 climbers who have died in their attempts to scale the mountain, say experts. Well, thar's your problem right there. -Richard
