Based on the well preserved 5000 year old caveman they found in the alps, they will be there for eons.

I saw one on K2.

Isn't k2 more dangerous than everest? You must be an excellent climber. Kudos to you. I couldn't do it.

Not climbing, flying. I was working in Pakistan in 2004. We flew around the mountain, and one of the Pakistanis pointed her out.

Yeah I wouldn't want to climb everest. One climber who didn't know ahead of time said it was like walking through a morgue.
