I don't think anyone's going to climb Mt Everest for the sole purpose of getting those tokens. 500K tokens and an expedition costs upwards of $50K? It's not worth it to go get and wasn't worth it to even place up there, especially in the light that a Sherpa died during the expedition. First piece of technological junk on the summit I suppose.
- goda90 8y agoNot sure it could even get the title of first technological junk on the summit. There is so much trash and so many bodies up there it's insane.
- DoctorOetker 8y agoI was thinking perhaps the poor sherpa tried to recover the coins: money can make people behave illogically, he knew where the coins were buried, he was some way up there, so it might seem less risky to turn back and descend for the last time compared to descending and then at a later date returning, especially if the coins might be gone already (publicity stunt => other teams and sherpas)
