And that tbastress is the answer. Too many people with too much money who want to have that trophy on the wall of having been on the Everest. There must be deaths.

Having all kind of equipment is not the same as understanding how and when to use it. Last year we had an accident here in the mountains where one young italian man died, the other barely survived a strong snow storm. They were found in a hut by one jogging-friend of my wife as she came there for a wisit, and stumbled upon a dead body in the entrance.

In the same storm some norwegians also had trouble another place. But they reacted sensibly, and were just delayed by one day in their tour. Both groups had good winter gear, the italians did not know how to use it, and how to survive in a snow storm.

Wery interesting film by the way. May I spread the link to a norwegian forum for mountain walking?
