Woman Trying To Prove ‘Vegans Can Do Anything’ Tragically Dies Climbing Everest
Quote:
Strydom had sought out to prove that she could scale the mountain while on a vegan diet, the Monash University lecturer told the university’s blog. “It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak,” Strydom said. “By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more.”
Two other people died on Everest, including 36-year-old Eric Arnold, who was part of the couple’s climbing party, and 25-year-old Phurba Sherpa, according to CNN. About 30 more climbers have become sick, frostbitten or both near the summit, the Associated Press reports.
A lot of people die climbing Everest. She died because they were inexperienced, not because she's vegan.
However she was an idiot for thinking she could climb Everest without any climbing experience. RIP though, still sad. RIP to the other two who died as well.
But yet again rest in peace to her, a compassionate woman who tragically died doing something she was dedicated to. Let the insecure people get their cackles, it just puts everything into perspective.
