It is precisely because of the suffering of reaching the summit of Mount Everest that only about 2,000 people have reached the summit so far, in addition, nearly 189 people have failed and lost Everest. About 120 corpses remained on the mountain, and no one wanted to get them down and return home. Why are their families reluctant to get these corpses down? The reason behind this is heartbreaking.

On Everest there are three famous corpses, one called Green Boots, one called Sleeping Beauty, and one called Rester. The reasons for their deaths are heartbreaking.

Green Boots, the owner of the body, named Zewan Parccio, died at the age of 28. Because he was wearing bright green boots, he was called green boots by climbers who passed by. In 1996, Palcio challenged Everest with a team of more than a dozen people, and just as they were about to reach the summit, they encountered an avalanche. Paalcho was unfortunately buried by the snow and froze to death.

Later, his companions found Palcio and had to leave because they could not take the body with them. In this way, Palcho's body stayed at 8500 meters of Everest, he fell into the snow, seemed to struggle to get out of the snowdrift, but could not do anything, and now became a witness to the danger of Everest.

Sleeping Beauty, the corpse's name was Francis Asentif. She climbed Mount Everest with her husband, and as a result, her husband lived, leaving only her on Everest forever, about 40 years old when she died. Frances was a little different from Green Boots, and she managed to reach the top, but came down the hill by accident.

Francis has loved mountaineering since she was a child, and this time climbing Everest, she challenged herself to not bring an auxiliary oxygen cylinder. The challenge succeeded, but Francis lost his life. When she went down the mountain, Francis began to lose her strength due to lack of oxygen, and her husband asked her to rest in place and find someone to rescue her. The husband never came back, and Francis lay on Mount Everest, gradually losing consciousness due to lack of oxygen, and finally froze to death.

While Francis was waiting for rescue, a climber passed by, and Francis shouted "Save me", "Don't leave me", "I am American". But no climber dares to stop, Everest is too dangerous, risking to rescue others, it is very likely to take their own lives.

Finally Francis slowly lost consciousness, and when she died, she maintained her hands together and lay flat on Mount Everest. Perhaps before the temporary, Francis had accepted the fact of death and simply given up the struggle. Passers-by couldn't help her, they had to put a flag on her body, and some put a doll in the hope that she wouldn't be too lonely on Everest.

The rester, probably the most wronged of all, his name was David. Sharp. But Sharp sat resting on Everest and wasn't quite dead yet. Many people often think that he is just resting, so Sharp will rest on Everest forever.

There are so many corpses on Mount Everest, why don't their relatives get the bodies down? There are objective reasons behind this. The conditions on Mount Everest are harsh, and it is already difficult to climb it, and if you want to move down the body by hand, you will be in danger of dying if you are not careful. It is not that no one does the business of carrying corpses, and the Sherpas living around Mount Everest are willing to carry corpses, but they cost nearly 700,000 yuan at a time. And it doesn't necessarily have to move down. Moving corpses is expensive, which is why only a small number of bodies have been moved down.

Some people have to say that it is not enough to pack a helicopter to carry the body. To know that the snow on Mount Everest is very large, not to mention how difficult it is to fly to Mount Everest, even if it flies, it may not be able to stop safely. The higher Everest is, the more likely it is to occur, and the helicopter goes up, and the possibility of causing an avalanche is too great. No one dared to take this risk, just to carry the body.

Those who stay on Everest, their courageous spirit of challenge is worthy of admiration. All that humanity has is constantly progressing, and there are also people who constantly challenge authority and constantly break the rules. But when challenging the natural world, you should be in awe and be fully prepared, otherwise you will accidentally put yourself in it.
