Another reader said it was a "heart-rending and inspiring story of indomitable human spirit," and that we all take risks to achieve our dreams http://nyti.ms/2kR6VwB pic.twitter.com/FyD6pRlZyV
"These men undoubtedly did not want to die, but this was an opportunity to be more than someone who made a few hundred dollars a month" http://nyti.ms/2kR6VwB pic.twitter.com/cftR2ruq5b
And read how New York Times journalists were able to document this experience without climbing the mountain:http://nyti.ms/2CFcwg3
And a selfish one.
As a choice for a featured insert at this moment in time, that is an astounding sign of where your class boundaries lie.
It's a symbol of western decadence with all the trash they toss around during their trek.
I agree with commenters noting that the Everest climb is for rich egotistical jerks who drop a lot of trash on a beautiful mountain.
Who cares,I'm sure the Sherpas could use all the millions that's gunna cost. Shit get real. Make a memorial,pay the locals to build it. Gawd,who really wants to bring home all that frozen meet.
Very well done, but perhaps not a story for Christmas Eve? 
Salute to your Passion & efforts for climbing one of the highest valley in the world.

Good job..
Wow!
