200 dead bodies on Mt Everest

Security is mostly a
superstition. It does not exist
in nature, nor do the children
of men as a whole experience it.

Avoiding danger is not safer in
the long run than outright
exposure. Life is either a
daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Keller

The proper function of
man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days
in trying to prolong them.
Jack London

Any coward can sit in his
home and criticize a pilot for
flying into a mountain in a
fog. But I would rather, by
far, die on a mountainside
than in bed.

What kind of man would live
where there is no daring?
And is life so dear that we
should blame men for dying
in adventure. Is there a
better way to die?
Charles Lindbergh, Jr.
 
Everest is a foothill compared to some of the peaks in countries like Tibet and Nepal, where climbers avoid them because the mountains are off limits to everybody, or they are just so soul crushingly remote and inhospitable that search and rescue would be outright impossible.

You're retarded.
