If the “corpse” markers, deter even one person from advancing, when they were already chasing the odds, at the base of the summit, before even putting their boots on, then it shadows the morbidness of it all. From photos I’ve seen, the number of climbers on the mount, at any given time, is the problem, IMO. If oxygen shortage on the descent, is the problem, it’s because they used it all standing still on the way up, waiting for people that should have never left the paved pathways in their neighbourhood parks.

Well: that Rasputin certainly was a tough guy... Don't see why the conspirators would admit to poisoning him as well as shooting him if they didn't.

That poison was probably instantly metabolised.
