Original Note:
Bodies are not left on mountains as trail markers, as this post suggests. Due to the extreme conditions, recovering the bodies can be extremely dangerous and costly. Leaving the bodies is also believed to be disrespectful to the mountain gods. https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/climbing/everest-dead-bodies-trash-removal/
