Sherpa Climbers: Indian State and Helipad Sunday

sherpa climbers: But the high-risk expedition, financed with about 92,000 from the Indian state of West Bengal, has sparked heated debate in the mountaineering community about the morality of risking more lives to retrieve bodies from one of the most unforgiving places on Earth, according to Hamilton Spectator. It was a very dangerous operation, West Bengal state official Sayeed Ahmed Baba acknowledged. The body had been left on the mountain for a year until last week, when a team of Sherpa climbers managed to recover it along with two others. It was difficult to find Sherpas who were willing to go. On the helipad Sunday in Kathmandu, Debashish Ghosh felt relief as he watched the Indian team unload the three bodies from the back of the chopper. But we had to do it for the families.
