I just learned recently about all the bodies one can see as they climb Everest. I had never really considered it, but it makes sense. If you die up there, who would carry your body back down? No one. If anyone is curious about what this looks like, you can see and read a few stories here, but let me warn you that these images are NSFW and are pretty gruesome.
