Mount Everest deaths

It's called the 'Death Zone' for a reason...

Twinned with Stretford

Steep hill in Lincoln does me

Cardiac Hill, Praia da Oura. Albufiera or Lyme Regis. Sorry wrong thread.

£30,000 to climb a mountain with 50 others so you can get a t shirt to say you did it. Not the hill I would want to die on.

The youngest This! chap has recently come back from a trek to base camp, with a slightly worrying desire to go back and summit.
Hopefully he'll explore the rest of the world first...

And climbing K2 in 3D:

I found it quite moving that the sock had his name tag stitched in it. Ridiculous really, but there you go I guess I'm a softie at heart..

Let's hope they can find the rest of his remains and I wonder if they find a camera with him!

One of the great (mis)adventure stories in history, along with the Shackleton expedition. Heard both as a young kid and always moved by them.
