Woman Trying to Prove ‘Vegans Can Do Anything’ Dies of Altitude Sickness on Mount Everest

An Australian woman who set out to climb Mount Everest to prove that “vegans can do anything” died Saturday after developing altitude sickness.

Maria Strydom, 34, had reached the final camp from the summit before she and her husband, Robert Gropel, both began suffering from high-altitude pulmonary edema, which caused fluid to build up in Strydom’s brain, the Washington Post reports.

Her husband survived and was taken to a Nepal hospital for treatment, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “Physically he’s OK, we think,” Heinz Gropel, Robert’s father, told the Australian. “Mentally he is a mess. He’s just lost his wife. These guys were not amateurs, they were experienced climbers.”

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.

LOL?!?!?!?

You think the death of this lady is funny.

What a kind and loving representation of the human spirit you are projecting.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but that is golden.

R.i.p

Fuck being politically correct.

Everest is a harsh mountain.

Here, hold my beer.

How did a sherpa die?

You think her death is funny OP? Pretty pathetic. Slither back under your rock

Exhaustion from carrying dead weight.

Silly woman. That's a heck of a cause to die for. It's hard to even have pity.

She's evil! God gave us all the animals and plants to eat and she's trying to prove God wrong! Fuck her!

Why is she any different than the socalled professionals that died by the dozens in a sudden storm?

The fact is, human don't belong up there. Stop fucking going there, stop polluting and stop dying for nothing.

Seems your leftist controlled thoughts are losing the battle here, so far.

Think of all the flights from around the world... Such pollution and global warming!

Altitude sickness has nothing to do with diet. What about all the omnivores that die on Everest every year? Should we laugh at all the weak meat eaters dying on Everest all the time?

The death isn't funny...the irony is HILARIOUS!

x2

You'd think the logical choice would be literally throwing the carcasses down the mountain. While I applaud the woman for at least trying something, but I feel in the end she let her ego get the best of her and she paid a dear price for it. Oh well though. More foolish vegans where that nonsense came from.

Flies to Nepal, to climb Mt. Everest.

Why not walk/sail there and show everyone up being carbon neutral outside of food.

probably did not take required supplements to support cardiovascular health

can't find that in veggies. sorries.

The media brought us this story, for us to laugh and ridicule!

It takes animal fat to climb

I want a name like Phurba Sherpa

I kept seeing people at Whole Foods that looked pasty white and sickly, and finally realized they were vegans. It is well known that being a vegetarian even causes brain shrinkage. I think its sad that someone was so brainwashed that they'd try to climb Everest in such a weakened state, and to pay proper respect, I will eat 2 half pounders with bacon tonight.
