Instead of recovering those who failed to climb Mt. Everest, other hikers just use their corpses as waypoints.

This is really interesting. Makes me want to climb it myself. I'd become an icepick, though :/

Fake and gay.

I don't see why everyone freaks out when they learn this. As you can see from all the dead climbers, it's pretty hard to climb Everest without ending up as an icecube yourself. It's even harder to carry the dead weight of frozen corpse back down yourself. There's simply no way to remove them.

I think...it's amazing actually. Monuments of their stupidity/bravery.

Seems legit
-
I remember when they found George Mallory. He was one of the original climbers trying to reach the summit. It is just way too difficult to try to remove the deceased from that far up. Those who would try would likely become the next residents. It's too much work and the only way to do it is manually.

That's not creepy at all
-
Aright that's good. Still being useful after death I like it. I wanna be a stop sign when I'm dead.
-
Note to self: don't get into mountain climbing.
-
Thats -blam!-ed up.

Certainly interesting.
