And lie on the slopes - from the first (officially considered) conquered the "Roof of the World" Mallory to the most recent. This is not to sentimentality and formalities required down there.
Strong wind combined with the snow crumbs doing their job, and over the years on the bodies of the flesh is less and less. And lie on the slopes of a reminder of their own mistakes or stubbornness. Or maybe just the fact that not everything in the hands of man.
