I had an opportunity to meet one of the sherpas (this word really just
means someone that lives above a certain altitude, not a racial designator)
that was along on that ill-fated Everest trip a few years ago. He
attributes his survival to the fact that he does not need supplemental O2
for Everest (he has sumitted multiple times over the years). There are a
number of people that have done Everest without extra O2.
