Still attached to a climbing rope. I wonder if they fell and struck the rocks and were too injured to descend.

Fucking Hell of a place to die alone and cold, what's the point?

If i died on a mountain, i would also want to be a frozen grave, i might be dead but my body will be preserved for a very long time.

Ol' Glacial Gary! Up the mountain and down for the count!

At that altitude, the climbers die of exhaustion. Just standing up and walking takes huge energy. Everything in their body tells them to sit down and take a 5 minute rest. Then they nod off in a daze and never get up again. Even if awakened, they can be too weak to move. Forget trying to lift or drag another person - that is a death sentence.

Altitude also makes people stupid and they make irrational decisions. Climbers rely on bottled oxygen for energy, but they time their air supply with little contingency or will offload and lose bottles because the bottles are heavy. Irrational climbing parties may overstay their summit in celebration, sealing their death sentence by running out of air on the descent. They just nod off and die when they run out of bottled oxygen.

Been there for years by the look of it and all the 8000ers have lists of people who died on them so this person's name is on one of them, wonder which mountain it is.
