it would be interesting to see how many people per year would give this a go if the weather window was much bigger.

anayways, i don't really see these deaths as a tragedy as these folks died doing what they love and the reality is that it is a cold and difficult place for people to be in.

the thought of all that climbing crap littering the mountain is distressing.

i should also note that how frustratign it must be for thsoe that dream of simmiting, and they are forced to turn back a few hundred meters from the summit.
