That 1996 disaster was something else. I've read a bit about it and the movie Everest is good too. What a thing to survive and then die on some damn stairs.

I've enjoyed watching most of the YT Everest videos. Good stuff. One of those things I'd never do myself, but I admire those with the will.

I'd love to hike around the Himalayas, but I'll pass on Everest too. I go hiking to enjoy nature and have some solitude. Everest doesn't seem enjoyable, plus it's full of trash, which would annoy me. I think it's more for thrill seekers than anything. That and bragging rights.

I always thought the most interesting facts was all the bodies abandoned there. They're even used as trail markers along the way. Morbid, but it is what it is.
