Well, a couple of things. First of all, there's an old saying in the climbing world that the summit's only halfway. You still got to get down, right? That is awesome. How do you, let's back up. How long do you stay at the top before you start going down? Depends on the weather, but generally 20, 30 minutes.

Get your photos, have a moment, you know, and then you got to hightail it because you got to get down. When you're on the summit ridge of Mount Everest, it's littered with frozen bodies. There's bodies everywhere up there. Dozens of them. You saw them? Oh, yeah. They're on the route. Like, there's tons of them. Okay, but if they're there, can't you just toss them down the hill?

People won't touch them because it's bad juju up there, but if they are close enough to a crevasse or the edge... We'll push them over. But most of them, you know, are, let's say, you know, 20 feet off the trail. And so what's the point? You're going to go over, just leave them alone. Right.

But the crazy thing about all those bodies out there is that it's not a bad way to go because you're perfectly, well, you're perfectly preserved for eternity. Right. It's like Walt Disney is in a cryo chamber and shit. Just go to Everest. There's all kinds of bodies they could bring back to life, that technology ever comes in.

But the crazy thing is that the ravens fly up to the summit ridge up there. So all the bodies that are up there that don't have their goggles still intact, the ravens peck out their eyeballs. So there's just these frozen bodies down there, like frozen in time with no eyes. It's the creepiest thing. And 99% of those bodies that are up there, they all made the summit. Really? Yeah.

That's why you turned around? Because they got summit fever. They didn't realize that the summit's only halfway. You got to get down. And when you're coming down, if you got nothing left in the tank, if you gave up everything to get to that summit, now you're coming down. Like you can get in trouble real quick at that altitude. Got it. So that's running through your brain too.

And then finally, it's just like the rock comes out of the head. Of course, you know, you got your expedition leader going, you know what, the rate you're moving right now, this is how much oxygen you got in your tank. You have to have a tank of oxygen? Well, because you're on supplemental oxygen.
