Warning- this video is hard to watch.

This harrowing video was captured as a climber descended the Summit Ridge of Mount Everest.

The caption of the video states that the body was released from the ropes several days later.

This really puts the danger of climbing Everest into perspective. We hear about deaths all of the time, but to see one in this fashion is quite shocking.

Our condolences to the friends and family of the deceased.
