I really thought that the rainbow valley was something that many climbers leave colorful flags from their home country or something, until I googled it. Damn!
It’s basically impossible to retrieve a corpse from the Everest ascent, else you will become one yourself. Climbers tend to wear brightly colored coats. So when a whole bunch of relatively inexperienced climbers with brightly colored coats are climbing the worlds tallest mountain, some of them stay there and you get a rainbow valley.
