The similarities to MarioKart are… frightening…
Comment on Fun fact: Wikipedia has a list of every single person that died on Mount Everest
splatt9990@lemmy.ml 3 months agoFun fact: it’s pretty much impossible to get those bodies down and there’s not really anywhere to bury them on the mountain so they’re literally laying pretty much wherever they died. They call that section of the mountain “Rainbow road” because of the multi-colored winter coats of the corpses you have to walk past to get to the summit.

It is impossible for many. It is just not worth the risk of making more dead bodies while trying to retrieve them. So they do not bother. Callous to some but that’s reality. Hell some dead bodies are used as milestones or waypoints for some going up.
There a few though that have been lost over the years. And trying to find them is simply too risky. There was the body of a British lady who you could see a few years ago but no one can see her anymore. Likely just covered in snow/ice.
