In 2016 three indian climbers died trying to summit Mount Everest. Two of them were abandoned by their guides near the top. In 2017, the Indian government funded an expensive mission to retrieve their bodies.
Over 300 have lost their lives on Mount Everest. Should great expense and risk be taken to remove them, or should they remain where they are as a reminder of the perils of high altitude mountaineering?
What do you think?

My passion is deep sea fishing. If I die, I want to die out there. Whoever climbs Everest probably would think the same.
Leave them
…los Sherpas son los dueños y verdaderos héroes de las alturas… el resto de montañeros unos falsos, mentirosos, egoístas y hedonistas que sólo buscan su momentito de gloria…y algunos pagan con su vida ☠️‼️
…la estupidez humana 🧔🏻🇪🇦
If I was willing to risk my life to climb that mountain, I would have to accept it might become my final resting place. I would think avid mountaineers would be happy remaining in the field so to speak.
leave em on top where they wanted to be
Если бы я осознанно шла на Эверест и знала о вероятности моей гибели там, то я скорее всего пожелала бы там и остаться навсегда в яркой цветной одежде. 🤗❤
Keep the mount clean of garbage,junk,poop,equipment Keep the bodies there as a reminder it’s very dangerous 🙁
I like the idea of leaving them up there and tagging them as MARKERS.. that way none of the climbers can ignore the REALITY AND DANGER of what they are doing. People need to be reminded of that danger, that DEATH is a real possibility.. because humans tend to forget the SERIOUSNESS of a situation when things seem “peaceful”.. like a beautiful peaceful sunset from the mountain.. but at any moments things can go terribly wrong!
It depends… if the climber specifically says in conversation if there are statements by him/her that if they die up there, to leave them.. then we should respect that. If the FAMILY is religious and need the body recovered to give them their last burial rights etc.. then it should be allowed/risked to recover. If the climbers country of origin (their government) wants to retrieve it, let them.. but this is always at great RISK and they should FUND IT.
It is so risky for the guides or anyone to bring them down. It's dangerous and the air is thin. Guides or Sherpas are carrying all of the gear, doing all of the work setting up camps, being in lead to put spikes in,ropes,clear areas, help the climbers up, even get them out of tight spaces. They are already doing so much of the work in a dangerous situation. They can't risk themselves and the rest of the group. Climbers should be wearing appropriate clothing, have appropriate gear, have a complete medical as the air is thin. There's bodies up there going back many many decades. If you want to risk your life for no reason, then no, a government nor the Sherpas should pay or risk their lives to bring your body down. It's an informed decision you made. A thrill not a necessity.
Leave em
Remember soldiers when captured are also fetch
Yes everyone pay tax towards governmental expenses.🎉
Leave them as a warning but not gonna stop anyone…more may perish trying to get bodies, their souls are free leave them be
BAND THIS BLOODY EGO ARROGANT LOT FROM CLIMBING THIS MOUNTAIN.
TRULY STUPITY.
This climb should only be allowed for certified professionals and oxygen administration should be mandatory in the death zone with no exceptions. The climb, crowded with smug amateurs and litter, is becoming even more deadly. The decades of dead bodies up there is proof that this climb should be nationally restricted-regulated to save lives. Greed and government incompetence are to blame here. Enough.
If you choose to go, and die, you should just stay. Forever. People know the risks. Money and possible extra death is never worth a body. It's just a body.
It's an awkward question. If my loved one perished on the mountain, I would dearly love to have their body retrieved. However, if it was going to greatly endanger others, then I think the remains need to remain.
If I died on one of these impressive pinnacles, I would want that to be my final resting place. A graveyard in the sky.
India really needs to reevaluate its priorities.
Dude put some sunnies on me and sit me up 😂
My opinion would be that before you step foot in Nepal a deposit for removal of the trash you generate to include your dead body if that is the case, be made. Not sure who would hold deposit or how funds would be used but it seems far to inexpensive right now (true costs are not being accounted for).
I would love for someone to pay the Sherpas double to NOT climb for one season and see what happens
Doesn't anyone else think it's callous and disrespectful to post images of dead people?
I think no one should even care about them
It was their choice
