I remember the expedition a ways back, the guys from Texas. Holed up in a snowcave.

I kind of scratch my head. Why climb the mountain in the middle of the winter, where if an accident happens, or if the weather turns bad, you die? It's hard for me to understand. The counter-argument is "well, you never have fully lived unless you have pushed yourself to the edge."

But man, I say there are a lot of things in life that are worth sticking around for, God-willing.

I hope they are alive. And if not, God rest their souls, and comfort their families.
