Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney is in the midst of the difficult process of getting her late husband Clifford's body back to New York after he passed away in Tibet Saturday. Thus far Clifford Maloney has been carried 5,000 feet below the base camp where he died in his sleep after having climbed the 27,000 foot Himalayan peak of Cho Oyu. A friend of Maloney's called the negotiations with the Chinese government to allow a helicopter to be flown in "a complicated effort."





Tibert?
No one reads these things before they get posted.
It's not uncommon for people to die when climbing high peaks in the Himalayas, and in most cases their bodies are simply left there. Over the years they become buried in snow and ice.
Honestly, if I were into mountaineering, that's what I'd want.
theres a thing called evacuation/corpse repatriation insurance.
its complicated exactly for that reason, (climbing the himilayas is not a poor mans pursuit)
carrying you dead deep pockets ass from 27k to 18k feet isnt easy either, tip well.
We'll if he actually died in Tibert, it's going to be a hell of a lot easier to transport his corpse than if he dropped dead in Tibet.
FREE TIBERT!
