It's so sad to hear about yet another loss of life on another mountain. My heart goes out to the family. Love Pam xx

O no, that's tragic. Yet knowing all the risks people continue to reach for the summit. Such is the torch of the inconquerable human spirit. CATHY

I wish they wouldn't climb that thing. Sometimes just because it is there is not good enough excuse. Maybe they should change the name to Suicide Mountain. Gerry
