FILE - In this May 16, 2013 file photo, Nepalese Sherpas rest on their way to climb Mount Everest. A high-risk expedition carried out by eight sherpas to retrieve bodies from Mount Everest has led some to question if risk is acceptable. About 300 climbers have died since Everest was first conquered in 1953, and at least 100, maybe 200, corpses remain on the mountain. Sherpas, climbers from the ethnic group that has lived for centuries around Everest, have become an integral part of the Himalayan mountaineering world, and rely on the pay they can earn during the three-month climbing season to carry their families through the year.
