Mount Everest....WOW!

I guess I didn't really know too much about Mount Everest till class on Monday.  I guess I am surprised about the deaths? I don't know?  I guess I am more surprised about how many people attempt climbing knowing that you may never return.  I said I would like to climb it in class, however, I think my mind was changed.  I don't know if I would be that prepared to "maybe" die.  I would also be very mad, if I climbed all the way to the top and the sky was not clear. I would be pissed! You climb all that way, hours and days, to feel like you are on top of the world, and then you get up there and can't see.  I would be furious!  But for the people that have lost their lives, I believe they died doing something they were extremely passionate about, which is very courageous and I honor them for that.
