this was so insanely interesting I cannot believe how physically and emotionally exhausting some of the sherpa's lives are. i've never known anything about everest save for it's the tallest mountain in the world, so learning how there's frozen bodies used as guideposts and sherpas whose whole life is going miles to take mountaineers poop off the mountain was so wild
