Well, good on her I guess. I'm crass with this response simply because when your stance is based off this one thing, to prove your one point.....and you fail? Well then boom, game on to mock you and your tragedy

Dying while trying to climb a mountain isn't exactly a difficult accomplishment...doesn't even require a particular diet (nor does it require stupidity - it happens to great climbers on occasion).
It's sort of sad and yet sort of......ironic maybe????

Now if she would have been eaten by the abominable snowman that really would have been ironic.

That was a pretty bad report. Pulmonary edema is a fluid buildup in the lungs. Cerebral edema is a buildup of fluid in the brain. You can actually have both but the reporter doesn't know the difference, so we don't really know what killed her...
I don't trust vegans.
Mountains they do not cooperate. Mountains do not discriminate (but they do tap for mana :wink
, and anybody, ANYBODY foolish enough to climb Everest, well.....their fate is deserved.

I definitely do not want to ever make light of someone losing their life. But considering this particular situation it's hard not to have a part of me chuckle a bit. This reminds me of one of my wife's cousins who promotes her vegan lifestyle on front street all the time. Always reminding anyone who will listen how much healthier her family is by doing so. Yet the "funny" thing is guess whose kids are constantly sick and catch every little cold under the sun? Yeah, hers.
i heard a joke recently. if a person is a marine, vegan who does crossfit. What do they tell people about first?
Thing is, among climber, Everest is not considered that difficult, except for the summit being in the "death zone." However, many other peaks in the Himalayas and the Karakorum both have many more difficult peaks, K2 and Nanga Parbat come to mind. The only really technical maneuver is the "Hillary Step" near the top, which forms bottlenecks, particularly when so many people are being "guided" who don't belong up there...
reminds me of an aviation classic:
You're at a party with two hundred people. How do you spot the pilot?
Don't worry, he'll tell you.
I went up Mt. Evans a few years ago and that was only 14,256 feet or so above sea level. I couldn't imagine doing Everest after feeling how bad 14k feet was.
