Everest is covered in dead bodies and poop
And trash. Lots of trash.
“The path to Everest is littered with the dead bodies of highly motivated people”
Is one of my mantras
[off topic]
“High Crimes” is a graphic novel about a disgraced Olympian who now carries dead bodies off Everest for a high fee.

Fun fact: Wikipedia has a shit ton of lists about how people die
Edit: a list of lists about death: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_deaths
My favorite list was list of murdered hip hop musicians.
Maybe i lack an adventurous spirit but if someone told me they climbed Mount Everest, I just think their privilege is showing and apparently are the type to invent problems that don’t need solving.
There are many things I can get a kick out of and have played with in my mind, like seafaring. But climbing a damn rock, which just gets colder while it’s getting harder to breathe? No, thank you.
Rip 😢
Fun fact: I made a histogram of the deaths on Mount Everest
