Thanks for pointing this out. I finally read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air this summer so this helped peace some things together for me.

Someone I know is a helicopter pilot in Nepal. He was recently involved in the recovery/rescue after the last big avalanche.
The caption to the attached photo is:
"Entering into the 'Kumbh' of Sagarmatha [Everest] is a dead end tomb, into the 'dead zone' where Your body begins to slowly die.
Here seen climbing through 20,000' surrounded by Everest 29,035' Lhotse 27,940' Nhuptse 25,791' a 4.4nm deep, dead end valley from where, escape is the same way out, or over the top near camp 2, was flying at 22,200' AMSL which was 150' AGL"
A zillion aerial photos of Everest and Nepal here

My pal Simon is a bit busy again flying evacs. He's one of the few who can operate to those altitudes.
This was his picture at Base Camp 24th April before the avalanche: .
It must be a grim task now; 5 cadavers loaded per trip.
