Today I came across an article that explains how above 26,000 feet (the so called "Death Zone") the air is so thin that the recovery of bodies is impossible. Every year about a thousand people on average attempt the summit, and on average about 20 of them die during the attempt. The bodies of 216 unfortunate climbers still lay exactly where they fell, remarkably preserved even after decades in some cases. WARNING: Interesting article, but somewhat gruesome (dead bodies). Possibly NSFW? http://sometimes-interesting.com/2011/06/29/over-200-dead-bodies-on-mount-everest/ Last edited by Mickey_MeatBalls_DeMonica; 01/19/12 06:17 PM. (cough.)

First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves. It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear. Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared "What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

I've climbed the Ramapo Mountains in Harriman Park, downstate New York....not even 2,000 ft above sea level. That's my max.

Reminds me of the "Bodies" exhibit in Manhattan, which shows real live (well, not live) bodies in different states of decomposition. I saw it a few years ago. As Johnny used to say: Weird, wild stuff. As far as climbing Everest: God rest their souls and all, but you gotta be fuckin nuts. "I got news for you.
