My dad said he was going to go to base camp. He didn't, but I never understood the draw. From books I've read, it's pretty disgusting and not close to pristine. I imagine the surrounding views are magnificent if you can get good weather to see. However, sounds like base camp is just gnarly with human crap and trash everywhere.
I noticed that the family of one of the lost climbers has started a go fund me page. Home boy knew what he was getting into when he tried to tackle the mountain.
