These days, climbing up Everest is like herding sheep! These "Adventure" companies sell it like it is a trip all to yourself, but you get there ant there are 200 - 300 other climbers ( read - lambs) waiting on their turn for glory.
Retrieving one idiots body of of a mountain, put's how many others lives at stake? To pull the Flag card is brutal. She spent the money, risked everything she had, and failed miserably in the worst way.
If she really wanted to leave her mark, leave her there with the hundreds of other frozen climbers as a shrine to want you should not do... Be inexperienced, unprepared and expect others to bail you out when crap goes bad.
