Lol- me too, years ago. I am interested in the psychology of mountaineering, the whole "summit fever" thing- I can't imagine blithely stepping over a body including poor Greenboots, but I do enjoy videos about it.

What I also hate to see is all the trash and waste that is left behind.

It's gross. It's a sacred Tibetan mountain--Chomolungma (Mother Goddess of the World or words to that effect) so it's terrible that anyone takes crap up there and then leaves it up there. I think of Sandy Pittman's espresso machine being hauled up by Sherpa...why do you need espresso on Mount Everest? Cripes, and for those that don't know, she contributed to the 1996 disaster.

She now claims Krakower tried to made her the villain and that her espresso machine was a 1 lb pot.

Well, Krakauer has been known to take liberties with the truth, or at least to stretch it. But I believe she was that far removed from reality, she'll never give up the unflattering truth anyway. It's not like Rob Hall, Anatoly or Scott Fischer can disagree with her, and my understanding is Beck Weathers was chasing her skirts and is also never going to tell the truth either. (I cannot stand that whingy man) he can't even take responsibility for not going down the mountain when he was getting into trouble, but staying STILL in the death zone because "Rob told me to". No, Rob wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.

They are all crazy.

If you step over bodies to climb a mountain, you're a douche.
