There are places no man should go. This is one of those places. Now that doesn’t mean someone doesn’t go there because they do. On purpose, and if they live they come back and tell us mere mortals what an incredible experience it was and how we should all have the opportunity to do so. I see this phenomenon as Mother Nature taking another look at her gene pool to see if any weeding needs to be done.

I believe she creates these little honey pots of obvious danger to lure the genetically halt and lame into visiting these places when it is known that this is definitely self-destructive behavior. Then she freezes them tightly to the mountain to remind the rest of us not to do dumb stuff.

Far as I’m concerned it only takes one frozen guy to show me that it’s better to visit places like this from the safety of your view finder. Remember, life is an IQ test and it’s pass or fail.
