High-altitude mountaineering weight loss pics?

March 24, 2011 7:40 AM

Mountaineers report experiencing significant weight loss and muscle degeneration throughout high-altitude expeditions such as those on Everest. Are there any before-and-after photos of these bodily effects incurred while on the mountain?

I'm currently reading Into Thin Air (awesome so far), and wanted to have a better idea of the effects of high-altitude mountaineering on the body.



Thanks!
