One of the climbers was found dead at the 17,000 foot level. Haven't found the other, but presumed dead.

I'm risk averse enough to not want to attempt a sport where the people at the very pinnacle, in terms of skill and knowledge, die not too infrequently. And of course, crappy climbers die a lot too (even though they are not attempting things as difficult).
But to be in remote China, with no one even knowing where you are, that's rolling the dice.
