You should read 'Into Thin Air' by Jon Krakauer, which details a trip fraught with tragedy the year the IMAX film of an ascent was shot.

It will give you some insight into the mindset of the climbers who are able to step across corpses and ignore the dying.

I watched a show with him after a couple of weeks. No nose, face horribly deformed (beyond the nose), no ears, stumps at the end of his arms. He was a doctor.
