It was a crime scene that police admitted they were not even going to attempt to reach - because it was near the peak of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain.
Two European climbers were reported today to have been involved in a fierce fight with their Sherpas at 7,000m, close to Camp 3 and not far from the 8,848m summit.
According to unconfirmed reports, fists flew in the snow as Simboli Moro, an Italian climber, and Wool Stick, from Switzerland got into a punch-up with the guides.

What difference does it possibly make now?
I think it’s time for the Sherpas to just stop supporting these priveleged characters who have nothing productive to do.
Daily Mail headline writer made the mistake. It should be meters but they wrote feet.
Read “Into Thin Air” about the wife of the MTV founder and how she acted on Everest. I forgot her name but Prima Donna would be a good fit.
Meters, as base camp is 18-20,000 ft.
Was if over 7000 meters vs 7000 feet?
Wool Stick? So where were Cotton Ball and Q-Tip when all of this was going down?
After reading “Into Thin Air,” your humble correspondent has absolutely NO DESIRE to climb Everest. Good read, however.
They were treating Anthony's Weiner for frostbite.
The italian will fight horribly and then switch sides.
The swiss will avoid the fight and appease the opponent.

LOL I bet it was difficult using those tweezers in the cold.
Those Sherpas are a wile bunch,
One minute its “ Look over there! A Yeti!! “
Next minute; , what happened to my LL Bean muff warmers and my Tag Heuer?
Really?
I’ve lived above 7K feet. I’ve never seen 7K meters other than in an airplane.
Stupid journalists.
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the Sherpa come and take you away.
The summit of Mt. Everest is close to 8,848m, approx. 29,000ft.
True but the fight wasn’t at the summit.
I can just imagine how he got that name. It must have something to do with his sheepish grin and stupidity to get in a fight with your sherpa at 7,000 whatever.
