Black climbers (7 photos)

Everest group of climbers pass nepogrebёnnyh corpses scattered
there is here, it's the same climbers, only they were not lucky ...



Some of them fell and broke bones themselves, someone cold or just relax and still cold. What morality can be at an altitude of 8000 meters above sea level? Here it is every man for himself, just to survive.



So if you want to prove to yourself that you are mortal, then it is worth trying to go on Everest.
Most likely, all of these people who were left lying there, thinking that this is not about them. And now they are a reminder that not everything in the hands of man.



Statistics defectors there is no one, because the climb mostly savages and in small groups of three to five people. And the price of such climbing is from 25t to 60t $ $. Sometimes pay extra life if saved on the little things.

Thus, eternal guard there remains about 150 people, and maybe 200. And many who have been there say they feel look black climber, resisting in the back, because right on the northern route is open eight bodies lying. Among these were two Russian. From the south, is about ten. But deviate from the paved trail climbers are already afraid, can not get out, and no one to save them will not climb.



Macabre tales walk among climbers who visited at the top, because she does not forgive mistakes and human indifference.
In 1996, a group of climbers from the Japanese Fukuoka University summited Everest. Very close to their route were three climbers in distress from India - exhausted, icy people asked for help, they experienced high-altitude storm. Japanese passed. When the Japanese group descended, then there was no one to save already frozen the Indians.



It is alleged corpse of the first climber to conquer Everest, who died on the descent.

It is believed that Mallory first to reach the summit and died already on the way down. In 1924, Mallory and his partner Irving began to climb. They were last seen with binoculars in the clouds break only 150 meters from the summit. Then the clouds came together and climbers disappeared.

Ago, they did not return until 1999, at an altitude of 8290 m, the next Deep Winter came across a lot of bodies killed in the last 5-10 years. Among them are found Mallory. He was lying on his stomach, as if trying to hug the mountain, head and hands are frozen into the slope.

Partner Irving was never found, although tying Body Mallory says that the couple were together until the very end. The rope was cut with a knife and possibly Irving could move and leave a comrade died somewhere down the slope.



Wind and snow do their work, the places on the body that are not covered by clothing, snow wind gnawed to the bone, and the older the corpse, the less it is still flesh.
Evacuate the dead climbers nobody is going chopper can not rise to such a height, and drag myself to the carcass from 50 to 100 pounds is not altruists. And lie unburied climbers on the slopes.



Well, not quite so all climbers are so selfish, still save and not throw in their trouble. Only the many who lost their lives - are guilty.
Set a personal record for the oxygen-free climbing, American Francis Arsenteva already lay exhausted on the way down for two days on the southern slope of Mount Everest. By non-viable, but still alive were women climbers from different countries. One offered her oxygen (from which she at first refused, not wanting to spoil his record), while others poured a few sips of hot tea, there was even a couple who tried to get people to sneak her into the camp, but they soon left, as subjected to risk their own lives.

American husband, Russian climber Sergei Arsent'ev, with whom they had lost on the way down, did not wait for her in the camp, and went on her quest in which also died.
