No, not me! They'd have to leave my body up there.

An 18 year old has set the record for being the youngest climber to reach the summit as well as now summiting all 7 of the highest peaks in the world.

Pretty cool.

Actually, they do leave the bodies up there, right where they fall to the elements. It's too dangerous to mount a rescue mission to bring a body down. There's not much you can do for someone when they're in trouble. It's gotta suck sitting at base camp looking at someone die just a few hundred feet up from you thru binoculars.
