Cnn says 4 dead on the front page, so I'm sticking with that. Climbing Everest, what a wacky wacky thing to do.

You forgot the best part: Strydom had sought out to prove that she could scale the mountain while on a vegan diet, the Monash University lecturer told the university’s blog. “It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak,” Strydom said. “By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more.” http://time.com/4344556/woman-vegan...+Top+Stories%29

To be really impressive, I want to see someone summit Everest and then compete in the Everest marathon at the end of the month. It starts at the end of the month in Gorak Shep and goes to Namche. A nice "downhill" run. Except for all the steep uphill parts and oh yeah you can barely breathe!

Yeah how are you going to afford the other 6 summits if you're blowing an extra $40k on the Everest summit? Prettz posted:No mention of avoiding the rotting bodies floating in the river I have a friend I used to guide with that has guided a bunch of Ganges rafting trips. He tells me that you see a dead body literally every day. The ones without shoes were incomplete riverborne cremations, the ones with shoes on were accidental drownings from pilgrims at the headwaters.

Snapchat guys appear to be bringing their poo poo off the mountain because they complained no one else was and they were forced to wait for water to boil for an hour before having coffee. Which reminded me of this cool video about boil temperatures at altitude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTL4dj3Gx1o:

It boils faster but also boils colder so the chance of killing bactera is far less.

No sense blaming a team for her body failing. She was on a stupid crusade to prove something that isn't worth fighting over much less dying for and failed horribly. Now it turns out she was also a cheapskate or couldn't afford a proper team. She was pretty much up there with all the other idiots who climb Everest for all the wrong reason.
