    I'd be thinking "you're a fucking idiot to die on this mountain" as I climbed by the corpse, if I thought it was at all admirable to climb Everest, anyhow.

    Having sherpas carry your gear up a mountain and lay lines to the summit isn't impressive, IMO.

    I remember reading about a guy who was going to die due to some storm and he managed to call his wife and kids to say good-by. Sad stuff.
