how long was the trek?

18 days in total. Takes around 10 -11 days to get to Base Camp including acclimatisation days and 3-4 days to return. The other days were at leisure in Kathmandu.

How come just the short stay at base camp?

Im not 100% sure to be honest mate, im guessing it is because there is nothing much to see when you get there and of course the round trip takes up pretty much the whole day. We had howling gales and a wind chill of around -15c so we didn't fancy hanging around anyway.

Not a photo but something @ProfessionalMackem at least may be interested in. I'm not really a believer in ghosts but maybe fifteen to twenty years ago Mastermind did a special at the Albert Hall. At the end of the programme when they have a shot of the chair under the spotlight a ghostly figure of a girl in Victorian (I think) period dress walked around the back of the chair running her hand over the top of it. The people I was watching it with saw it too.

I posted on here asking if anyone had seen it and received no response so I assume no one had. A few years later I got a PM from someone who had signed up to these boards specifically to contact me about my post and the Mastermind 'ghost'. She had seen it too and had been trying to research it but the only thing showing up on the internet was my post on here about it. There's seemingly no other record of it happening. It seems a bit of an elaborate and pointless hoax for the BBC to play if they weren't going to mention it after.

Yep. Read about it recently. Everyone claiming they thought it was another corpse and or claimed it was too dangerous to themselves to help. They just wanted to reach the summit IMO. It's not too far from where he slumped down dying.

I don't think I could trek past a fellow climber and just leave him to die like.

Everest is usually only climbed by millionaires as they're the only one who can afford all the gear, no wonder they didn't help, bunch of selfish pricks

Reading between the lines and seeing as your our resident conspiracy theorist ;) was Gegarin actually bumped off for upsetting Big Bad Len?

Not one I've come across Tbf. But ill look into it. what I do know is that there was shed loads of propaganda going on the time. With the unpredictability of space travel at the time. They actually sent some random dudes into space then replaced them on the ground with there superstars just in case there was a fatality
