      Green boots is still there. Other climbers know that they can't take the time or put in the effort of clearing dead bodies or else they themselves will likely perish. It's more common than most realize for climbers to leave members of their own climbing party behind to die on the mountain.

I sat by her bed 3 times a day, am midday and pm till advised visiting over. The lady's brain scans improved and then she rapidly improved, woke up, looked at a TV playing a Corona commercial as it was sat May 5. She had been in a coma for the better part of a month, woke up, saw the TV, turned to me and asked " is this the day when we all pretend we are Español? It was Cinco de Mayo.

    Well: that Rasputin certainly was a tough guy... Don't see why the conspirators would admit to poisoning him as well as shooting him if they didn't.

    If the “corpse” markers, deter even one person from advancing, when they were already chasing the odds, at the base of the summit, before even putting their boots on, then it shadows the morbidness of it all.
    From photos I’ve seen, the number of climbers on the mount, at any given time, is the problem, IMO. If oxygen shortage on the descent, is the problem, it’s because they used it all standing still on the way up, waiting for people that should have never left the paved pathways in their neighbourhood parks.

    Leaving a person, who is still alive, to certain death is such a horrible thought. The would be rescuers may always wonder if they could have done more.

    I find it amazing, fortunate, and something for television to pay attention to, that a free channel can outdo the combined efforts of a television channel and sponsorship money. The more channels like this that I find, the less of a reason I have to go back to pay for TV. Because of channels like this one, I have not turned on my TV in over a year.

    Seneca was exactly like Rasputin, in his death. He had to commit suicide because of Nero & had to resort to many different, horrificly painful suicidal acts before death overtook him.

      It was a cull, not a war you dope. Now, imagine losing a war to a handful of poorly equipped, impoverished rice farmers. Wait, you don't have to imagine that, because it actually happened. Btw, the Taliban now governs Afghanistan legitimately because America lost, yet again, to some goat herders. Pretty humiliating.
