Obviously for an American to have done this she must have had some oil he was after.

... Sensationalist news, nothing new about it. There are heroic acts made every day that no one ever hears about - what we need is this kind of selflessness in governments.

There are at least 186 bodies unrecovered on the mountain.
On dry years you can see bodies stick out of the snow.

If I ever find out that I'm gonna die of some incurable disease, I'm gonna go prop myself up in some ridiculous pose so that all of the future climbers can check me out as they ascend/descend.

This was the last picture of Mallory taken while alive.
I'm not sure what you're getting at, but from the way it reads may I invite you to a tall glass of STFU?

What is concerning is the refusal of climbers to put off their climb in order to help people. This guy was on his way down and rest assured had he been on the way up he wouldn't have stopped.

If you're interested in this kind of stuff I suggest reading the book "Into Thin Air".

Oh wow this is so cool! What a great Idea. Would you mind if I did it too ? what would I wear I wonder? Something with a slight Millitary look that would age well I think...no " Day Glow " and the Timeless Aviator Glasses. Maybe a pack of Camel no filters for that "Tuff but Reckless man " look.

If I know I'm about to get flash-frozen, I hope I have time to make and hold some kind of obscene gesture for people to puzzle out in 2000 years or so.

Big deal. I wonder how many Nepalese Sherpas have saved the lives of other climbers.
"Omg..an American...see they're not bad afterall!!"

See, even the Americans think that the world hates them. So they have to make news stories out of stuff like this to try and make people like them. Funny really, i thought you guys loved yourselves and didn't give a fuck what anyone else thought.

Mek, that's a lot of generalizing there....  I don't like it when people are overly patriotic, but then again, there's also no need to criticize or trivialize a good deed.

These "because its there ppl" are ok as long as they don't expect a multi million pound rescue mission when they mess up, which the rest of us have to fund.
So you have a chip on your shoulder, maybe a small weenier and have to climb the largest falic symbol on earth to make up for your inadequacies.
Either way. Ppl who go on round the world sailing expeditions alone, should be allowed to drown if they mess up, just as small dicked mountain climbers should be allowed to freeze when they mess up.

Can you tell I just got a tax bill in this morning? lol.

I just read the god damn article. And....there was a Sherpa with the American woman. So, you didn't even bother to mention that. It was all about the random American who saved the helpless woman. You people are fucking pathetic.

Not really criticizing the deed itself. Just the way it's been reported by the OP and stuff like that.
