Mt Everest
These recent deaths makes me wonder at the stupidity of all this wanting to climb a mountain.
To lose your life is senseless to me.
OMG...did a Google search and guess what I found....amazing...they are already there!!! LOL (pls note the date though)
McDonald's to open at Everest Base Camp
1st April 2013
The global fast-food chain is set to open a branch at the iconic hiking destination, with the launch of the 'Big Yak' burger coinciding with the grand opening
Other delights on offer will be the McSnowFlurry and Freeze-burgers. As all the food and supplies will need to be carried up the steep slopes, McDonald's has said all Sherpas can have free food for life from the exclusive branch.
Wanderlust editor Phoebe Smith is hiking to Everest Base Camp next week. She said, “I think this is an utter disgrace! Why should one of the most unspoiled, untouched places left in the world be tarnished with the big, yellow M? I wish Burger King had got there first...”
She then went on to say: “I wonder whether they'll have vegetarian options?”
This is not the first branch in India for the global food chain. Last autumn, McDonald's announced the opening of its first vegetarian branch in northern India, near the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Plans are already being put in place for another vegetarian restaurant in north-west India near the Vaishno Devi cave shrine in Kashmir.

Climbing Everest is particularly pointless because it involves paying a lot of money to a company to make all the arrnagements and paying Sherpas to carry all your gear.
