Re: a follow up to WTF kind of people does this. Mt. Everest
These are the facts:
"Between 1921 and 1999, Everest has been climbed by more than 900 people from twenty countries. More than 150 have lost their lives, the odds being one-in-six of not making it down alive. The dead are left where they perish because the effects of the altitude make it nearly impossible to drag bodies off the mountain. Those ascending Everest pass through an icy graveyard littered with remnants of old tents and equipment, empty oxygen canisters, and frozen corpses."
I'll stick to online poker thanks.
