JOHN YDSTIE, Host: But as Appa and Lhakpa were on their way down to base camp, they were reminded. The Sherpas were asked to help in the recovery of two bodies, a pair of Korean climbers, who had died in their tent when it was boned(ph) down the southwest phase of the mountain.
Apa Sherpa broke his own record this week by reaching the summit of Mt. Everest for the 17th time.
