![]() The man’s name was Goutam Ghosh, and the last time anyone saw him alive was on the evening of May 21, 2016, when it was obvious that he would become another fatality statistic, soon frozen and as inanimate as the boulders around him. The only thing more daunting might be to haul a dead body back down. The Sherpas knew from experience how difficult it was to scale the world’s highest mountain. That altitude is called the “death zone” for good reason. The ghoulish face and bone-white teeth scared them, so they covered the head with the jacket’s hood. The Sherpas picked at the body and used gestures and muffled words to decide how best to move it off the mountain. It was as if the man sat down for a rest, fell backward and froze that way. His frozen arms were bent at the elbows and splayed downhill over his head. ![]() His hydrant-yellow summit suit had dulled to the hue of a fallen leaf. More than a year of exposure to the world’s wickedest elements had blackened and shriveled the man’s bare face and hands. ![]() They were inside out and flapping in the whipping wind.

When they finally freed a leg and lifted it, the entire stiff and contorted body shifted, down to its fingertips. They knocked chunks of snow from the body, and the shattered pieces skittered down the mountain. They swung axes at the body’s edges, trying to pry it from its icy tomb. Yeah mine are not any less violent than we ever were.Five Sherpas surrounded the frozen corpse. The one they like is "I win, you lose, now you have a big bruise" As they punch the person up and down the arm. Or "hey did anyone meet my new horse? His name is charlie" As you punch them in the thigh. Knuckle to knuckle with the opponent and 1 suddenly raps the other on teh knuckles and you try to get your hand away in time.
