EVEREST

I have seen a film EVEREST and must say it hit my heart. I have not seen such a film for a long time. People do a very dangerous journey close to death just to stand up that mountain to fulfil their desire.

When I was back home from Cinema I was reading some information about the film and expedition. Even the film is based on true story and the frozen bodies those who did not survive are still laying there. There is a point which is call Green boots which is used as a landmark for climbers. It is an unidentified corps of a body. Green Boots Wikipedie

The image of the Green boots point really not shocked me but surprised me somehow (contradiction between the desire / reality - the death is closer than you think). What climbers are feeling when passing that point and seeing the frozen body laying there what their thoughts are about? It is the dead zone where human body has problem with insufficient delivery of oxygen to regenerate itself, it is fatal risk to help others there.
