I'll never understand people who want to try to climb mountains.

The couple reached Camp Four, the final camp 400 meters from the summit before both suffered from high-altitude pulmonary edema, colloquially known as altitude sickness. It caused fluid to build up in Strydom’s brain, which killed her on Saturday.

A mountain wins again.

Quote:
Alexander Polli, a skydiver and pioneer in BASE jumping, died after a wingsuit crash in the French Alps.

Polli, 31, crashed into a tree while jumping in the Couloir Ensa near Chamonix shortly after 5 a.m. EDT on Monday, PGHM mountain rescue officials told NBC News. Polli died at the scene, which is popular — and dangerous — for BASE jumpers.

I don't know -- dying at the scene does seem dangerous. But is it really that popular with BASE jumpers?

Me too. I'd say it's the majority.

You want to to show the good in veganism? Go down to the local Salvation Army or soup kitchen and make up some vegan meals for the homeless.
