Everest "Climbers" Remembered

Poll:poll: 500K

If you had to give away a half-million dollars, would you donate it to the athletic department, or send tjc up Everest?

Edit: new board puts a pink smiley in the polls
I'd send TJC up twice, one of those times would be with you, and spend the remaining $200K on Nova basketball.
 
Everest death photos are amazing. Always assume that many of the people who climb Everest are well off people who are seeking a thrilling brag, and I wonder what is going trough their heads as they freezing to death 29,000 in the air. Certainly "God, this was effin stupid" had to be one.
 
Real Sports March edition was based on Sherpa and Everest. An American company makes all the money for the Sherpa's to risk their lives to get not only the person to the top but all of their luxury things they bring with them. its incredible dangerous and where the Sherpa's live is literally the most isolated place in the world.

its worth a look. the CEO of the travel agency basically said im sorry the die but this is such a lucrative business i cant/wont stop it.
