Sled... Body... whatever

If I die on Mt Everest, I hope someone does something funny with my body so others will get a good laugh while they also freeze to death.

Nothing like a stone to the crotch to finish the job

Expect to pay between $50K-$100K to climb Everest.

I actually saw some asshole taking a selfie on Everest with Green Boots' corpse with a big happy smiley face and a thumbs up sign (and that's not including all the emojis he no doubt added when he posted it to social media) If that's how you want to be remembered if you die on Everest, well, have at it

That story about the chinese lady that promised 10K to the sherpas if they rescued her than stiffed them is kind of funny. Let's hope they learned their lesson.

Are you sure it was not a frozen alive body?

I know the name of this dead climber but I'm not sure if it is standard practice to mention names on DR.

For the record however, this is not Mt. Everest, this is actually just below the summit of Mt. Lhotse, which is adjacent to Mt. Everest. The climber was from the Czech Republic and he perished on May 2012 from "exhaustion." That is all I know in terms of the cause of death.

Ötzi of the future.

Mount Everest has claimed 300 lives, and 150 bodies remain on its slopes because of the expense and danger of retrieving them; a 2017 recovery cost US$200,000
Ahead of the opening of the climbing season this autumn, authorities and climbing guides are unsure if or when more bodies will be brought down its slopes.

“Many bodies are there because the family members did not want to take [them],” says Kami Rita Sherpa, a guide who has summited Everest a record 24 times. “Given that the cleaning campaign gets so little budget, the priority should be in cleaning trash that has been destroying the mountain,” says Sherpa.
He is referring to the estimated 20 tons of rubbish that has piled up on Everest, which has been conquered more than 6,500 times since 1953.
Others think the body removal has been indispensable, no matter who bears the expense, as many corpses have started to surface with heavy melting of snow in recent years.
