Ed's dead...
If climbing Everest was just an 'ego ****' and so straightforward why on earth is it knee deep in corpses?
The 'ordinary route' might not be the epitome of alpine style Himalayan mountaineering but it's still a very serious undertaking. Make no mistake.
"Mountain lovers", people who think it important to leave mountains as they found them bar a few footprints; people who adhere to mountain code of conduct. Sir Ed was the first man up there and spent a lot of time working with the locals when not drunk. Worth listening to IMO, Monkey.
My mate was back on his MTB this morning but still coughing his lungs up whenever the trail went up hill.
if a "mountain lover" were about to die on Everest they would set light to themselves so as not to litter the mountain...
