On the same topic I also found a weird quote in story in the Daily Mail where a BRITISH HERO! had walked past her dying on the way down, realised that the lady was dying but basically just walked on because that's what you do when you're a high achieving go getter.

To be fair, it's what you do if you don't want to commit suicide by stopping to try to help.

Ms Shuttleworth had to squeeze past two dead people and cut one dead bloke off the mountain to get past. She was 19 and climbing with her dad:

Becky Bellworthy, 20, another Briton, described her terror as she
tried to descend against the flow.

‘‘There was a single rope attached to the mountain and you have to
pass people on ridges that are only wide enough for one set of feet,
and you are literally climbing over other people to get back down
again,’’ she said.

Hopefully Nepal will start a London Marathon style lottery for permits at some point. The numbers clearly have to be limited.
