3. I've always been facinated with Everest.

I think I've read every account on climbs there is to read. This is the first one I've seen of a recovery. Fascinating. And the video is incredible.

4. Thank you for posting this

It was an incredible read, but heartbreaking as well.

6. You're most welcome

I'm glad you enjoyed it too. I can't imagine what the families go through. I think the saddest account was when Rob Hall radioed his pregnant wife while he was dying on the mountain.

7. Fascinating Read and incredible Visuals

It is worth a look for the photos, videos and graphics alone

9. Incredibly sad...

that children are without fathers and wives without husbands because of a thrill seeking desire to climb a big rock.

10. Lots of women climb too

And have died in the process.

I'm not one to judge the passion of others.

11. I suppose the family agreed for those pictures to be shown, but I found them disrespectful

As you say, it was a great story however, and I thank you for posting.

13. Wow!

That was such an interesting, but very sad, editorial. I just can't wrap my head around one's desire to climb Everest.
