The 1st GSM call from Everest

I was reading in the newspaper this morning that people climbing Everest now have to cross over the frozen bodies of climbers that didn't make it. It said that from 26,000 ft to the top is called the "dead zone" because of all the corpses.

Maybe you can call Rod and ask him if that's the case ?
