The Sherpas were dead, two more victims of an attempt to scale Mt. Everest. Members of a French climbing expedition rolled them off a steep mountain face. One body, however, crashed to a stop near Sherpas on a separate expedition far below. They stared at the frozen corpse, stunned. Nobody would throw the body of a white climber off Mt. Everest.
