  • I am not advocating helicopter rescues tho. If nobody can carry a dead body down, then who will remove a broken helicopter? If motorised rescue became mandatory, the Himalayas would soon become a rusty junkyard. An even bigger embarrassment to future generations than the existing pile of gore tex clad mummies.

  • Imagine how many climbers a busted helicopter could take with it on its way down.

    But apparently a copter has landed briefly on the summit much to the anger of the authorities who were not informed of the plan. Probably because it was a fucking stupid idea.
