Mountain climbers Briton Tom Ballard and Italian Daniele Nardi.
Tom followed in his mother’s footsteps and died as she did, sky high up on a frozen mountainside. Such is the destiny of many who crave this activity. Climbers who attempt Everest are encouraged to have a death plan, to either be left where they die or be put down a ravine.
@drewnogal saidI wonder, if these people have their own families, is this a justifiable activity, I mean the odds being so bad?

@torunn saidThey seem to be driven to do it? There must be an attraction for people to get involved with these exciting, high risk people. The men are fit, strong and fearless and sometimes their partners may even get drawn into joining them.

@drewnogal saidAs death is something that will, eventually, happen to all of us dying doing something one loves is probably the best way "to go".
