I posted this last year in protest to macho men and women using Mt. Everest for ego boosting and all of these people, more and more each year, desecrating the sacred mountain Chomolungma, or Mt. Everest as Westerners call this mountain. Now six more lives are lost in more egotistical adventuring. 

"Mt. Everest's real name is Chomolungma which means "Goddess Mother of the Earth." It is a sacred mountain that spiritually unaware men are using for bragging rights and general ego building. The men and their retinue have trashed the mountain leaving garbage along their routes. The Sherpas make their living off serving these macho men so they are now also without spiritual consciousness of Chomolungma. It is a Goddess Mountain, not for men's trespass. It should held as the sacred ground it is and treated as such."
