A Utah man has died on a climb of Mount Everest.

An American man who had the goal of climbing the tallest mountain on each continent died after reaching the top of Mount Everest, his seventh and final summit.

Cash's children said their father knew he was on a risky mission. On a previous climb, he lost fingers to frostbite. Still, he was determined to reach all seven summits., adding that Everest was"big finishing aspect of his dreams." The exact cause of Cash’s death is unclear, but his family thinks he had a heart attack while descending from the peak of the world’s tallest mountain. His family said sherpas, mountain guides on Everest, tried to perform CPR and give him oxygen, but he died as he was transported back to camp.

'nothing was impossible' but he died doing it? hmmm..

If they stacked all the bodies, would it be higher than Mt Everest?

Stories like this make me glad that I lack this type of aggressive ambition. Sad that he died when he could’ve lived many more years.

thats human nature and sometimes humans loose the fight R.I.P.

Romney: War with Iran 'not going to happen'The Utah senator says he doesn’t see the president going down the path. Yeah because Mitt has the backbone to stop it... Or what? You'll shake your head and mutter about disappointment? Speaking of which, I'm disappointed Utah let you claim 'residency,' and then elected such a spineless wimp to the Senate, Mitt. Mitt's going to write a sternly worded letter that Susan Collins will proofread for him.

Romney on Mueller report: 'Really, really troubling,’ but Americans ‘just aren’t there’ on impeachmentSen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Sunday that he disagrees with the call for President Trump's impeachment issued by Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich. Mitt Romney failed to beat obama in 2012 simply because Mitt Romney is a member of the washington dc elite and voters could not see any difference between Mitt Romney and obama. obama was the worst president, EVER, and Mitt Romney could not beat obama. Mitt proves that he will be always a “party ahead of country” guy. Glad he lost his presidency bid Only trouble is..Trump is out performing much of what dems did/did not do. They all wanna jump in and take credit. Dems just bash. Maybe if they would have taken care of Americans. Trump trying. Doing better than all the 'experienced politicians' it eats at them.
