Your link isn't working...

[theGinsue]

I think the way the forum abbreviates the link is causing the problem.

Can you (Steve/henpecked) remove the http, put a couple of spaces into the main part of hte URL like: godheadv . blogspot . com and we can cut and paste it into our browser & remove the spaces?

[OneGuy67]

Really interesting!

[theGinsue]

^^^ Steve, the link you posted without the http:// part works great for cutting-and-pasting.

Man, that was revolting and amazing all at once.

yeah I think people that do this sort of shit should be removed from the pool.

I'm just surprised with up to 200mph winds winging around, that they are still "there" along with the garbage...

[Troublco]

Odd how the skin on the heads was gone. I've seen some of this before, but it still gets your attention. Not sure what's more of an attention getter, the 10% death toll or the attitude of the people letting the others just die.

[Gunner]

Wow thats pretty gripping but I find it really interesting.

[sniper7]

pretty crazy photos.

its okay I've been at 42,000'. screw those hikers

Yeah, but they weren't wearing pressurized aluminum underwear...[ROFL1]

You know, a less than politically correct outdoor wear company could have a really great advertising run with some of these pictures...

[Bailey Guns]

Really interesting read. Thanks for the link!

Last night Dieing for Everest was on the tube.

Had pretty much the same info.

[Lex_Luthor]

Jeez whatever happened to "pack it in, pack it out". (regarding the second link about all the trash left behind.)

[rockhound]

having relatives that are really into climbing i have seen most of this before. the bodies on everest have been stacking up for decades. the attitude is unfortunately the proper one, leave that guy there if you want to live yourself.


1 in ten chance of dying, i can find better ways to get my jollies, thanks

Nope, I'm running IE7 and that's all I can see now too.

I suspect the owner of that blogspot got way more hits than he was expecting and took down the data.

[Irving]

I can see it when I click on the link.
