"What a tight-knit band of brothers these professional climbers must be. Imagine one selflessly laying down his life for the vanity of all the rest...."

I think we ought find out who all these 40 fearless men and women are who let nothing stand in the way of making the summit. Let their names be shouted from the mountaintops and let it be known just what they did to get there.

Let them bask in the glory they so richly deserve! I believe Everest is situated in a land where Karma is taken seriously. Let us help these folks experience Karma to the fullest extent!

Listen, they are now part of a select group of only 1,500 (that's FIFTEEN HUNDRED) people who have successfully climbed Mt. Everest, even if they had to pay $60,000 or so to a guide to do so and ignored a dying man in the process. Real "macho" jocks, eh?

I did a google search and came up with Everestnews.com (since mentioned on this thread!). It has lists of names of folks who summit each day. I don't know what day this happened- or on what route.
