Dirty Everest?

by E.doc

There is now an expedition in the works to "clean up Everest". I never really considered it, but Everest neads a face lift. Apparently, not all climbers/mountaineers take care of their garbage. I guess they figure that since it's in the middle of nowhere and basically in a different atmosphere than the rest of us, nobody will care that they leave their old canisters, markers, water bottles, etc. lying around.

Unfortunately, this expedition is risky, because most of the garbage is accumulated in the "death zone" of Everest. Maybe the previous climbers just wanted to get the hell out, leaving anything behind that would hinder their escape, including the dead bodies of their fallen teammates. Totally weird in my opinion.
