stoicists: I finally met a stoicist in Himalaya. He has climed 12 out of 14 8000m mountains inna world. He was on his way to find his friends camp on Annapurna I(8096m). His friends camp were demolished by avalanches few month ago, and they are dead. He is going there to dig up snow, find his dead friends, take two of them back to Spain for their families, and throw one of his friend to crevas so he won't get eaten by animals....... He talked this story as if nothing. He said everytime he climb 8000m class mountains, he lose his friend everytime. He has Kanchenjenga(3rd biggest) and Annapurna I(10th biggest) left to conquer. He was a stoicist. Best luck for Itaki!
