I watched the movie "K2" last night. I've always liked that movie.
There aren't as many bodies on K2 because not nearly as many people attempt to climb K2. It was so much more technically difficult. Only the best climbers go there.
Just about any in-shape person can attempt Everest. Guides can get them up to the top.
That is why so many died in 96. Too many inexperienced climbers were on the mountain.
Another problem on Everest is the garbage. People just leave stuff up there. Base camp is a dump.

I talked a little about "No Shortcuts to the Top," in a thread I made in the OR section if anyone is interested.

Also, there is a mountaineering store in Minneapolis that has an expo twice a year. I went in March or so and saw a presentation from a guy who tried to climb K2, he didn't make it up, but the stories and pictures were pretty sweet.

IMAX: Everest

There is also a series on there called "Everest: Beyond the Limit."
Not about Everest, but another good one to watch is "Touching the Void."

I can see why people would want to climb the mountain, its truly an epic accomplishment, you just have to have that adrenaline junkie type personality.
Highest I've been was just over 15,000 ft in Peru. At about 13,000 ft the altitude raped me, luckily we made it to camp and I got to pass out for 10 hours. The next day I woke up acclimatized, then proceeded to the 15,000 ft mark.
I can see how people die that easily, when the altitude sickness hits you, you have absolutely NO energy and can't even bring yourself to eat or drink, you just want to lay down and sleep.
Great thread, in for more pics.Journal: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=139898123&page=240
