Ever since reading the book IN THIN AIR by John Krakaur years ago I have been interested in anything on Everest. Well it appears at least 5 people have died on Everest in the last 24 hours.

Fishtail is much prettier anyhow.

Expedition everest drop??
I always chicken out and don't ride Expedition Everest because of the drop. Is it really that bad? I hate the feeling in my stomach during drops, but my kids keep telling me it's not that bad! Any thoughts??

On a coaster in the last 15-20 years, you may be surprised at how smooth the rides are .

Some might say....
Ein the summit.
Some might say that saving a life will take you higher than any mountain.
In all the documentaries I watched about Everest they say to reach the summit.

Astounding to read this:
"An estimated 150 climbers reached the summit on either day, most of them on Saturday."
That was taken from an article about three who died, two who are still missing on Everest:
