The Everest version of Poppy People

[BonsaiNut]

I cringe when I think of the times I've caught myself in error, when, if one additional little dumb mistake happened, my friend or wife would be dealing with my body recovery. Yet I go still, for some reason.

Sadly, was reading last night the death toll is up to 10 this year...

Note the reference to the climber from Utah who had "left his job to join the Seven Summits Club". So it's a "club" now is it? How ridiculous... and sad.

And @mike I'm not at all friends with Scott Fischer's parents - I haven't even met them. My parents were close to them when they lived in the same community in Tennessee. One day during a visit my mom mentioned they were friends with some people who had lost a son on Everest. When they told me their last name was Fischer I asked "are you talking about Scott Fischer?" My parents didn't know how famous he was.
