    Yes can you believe,well yes we can,only Humans could turn the world's highest Mountain to a 'Conga Venue'! in the last week 10 people have died near the Peak as overcrowding hits its worst level since 2012.So you pay just under 9 Grand to die,or get very ill.More and more famous natural venues suffer through our masses,but here we did a mini cull of ourselves!!
    Of course massive respect to proper Mountaineers ,brave people without doubt but there were total goons up there this year who could not even put their own Crampons on!!!

    8 more Climbers gone for a Burton in the Indian side of this mega dangerous range. Looks very much like these were very good experienced Climbers that perished on one of the most dangerous Mountains in the Himalaya Range.

    Canny understand the logic of people wanting to risk their life in this manner, it's total madness.

    Aye the many times I’ve heard of nutters being rescued of the mountain face because they went up with only a T shirt on and no food or water. Dipsticks.

    Yes never mind the Himalaya Range in the Highlands and indeed the North Wales Mountains for example the amount of total selfish arseholes who go up without proper gear and in very bad conditions expecting to be rescued via their fancy phones:31:
    Bhoy I could tell you some accounts that I know of!!

    There is an old friendly guy who used to do Mountain Rescues back in the day in Snowdonia. On one occasion he and a fellow rescuer came across a woman in trouble on a steep scree with her Husband really struggling to help her. Both in normal clothes in damp sloppy conditions and light due to fade in an hour!!
    So they helped them and got them out of peril only to find out that they two children further up with the family dog!! Yes 3,000 foot up!!
    To stop this being an epic one of the 2 kind men found them as the mist was coming in!!
    And to think these 2 kind men were out on standard exercise!!

    On the mountains of the Celtic lands there should be £1000 fines per person who gets into stupid trouble. The money should go forwards sensible people who get into trouble.
