Police near Mount Everest are investigating reports of a fight on the upper reaches of the world's highest mountain between two foreign climbers and their Nepalese guides, officials said Sunday.Strange place for people to throw punches, eh?
"We were told our clients and the guides fought on their way to camp three. We don't have all the details yet, but our clients have come down off the peak," said Anish Gupta of Cho-Oyu Trekking, the Kathmandu-based company that organised the expedition.
He said that one of the clients, a Swiss national, had descended the mountain and was currently waiting for a flight back to Kathmandu.
The other client, an Italian, remained at Everest Base Camp and may still try to summit the 8,848-metre (29,029-foot) peak.

Perhaps it is an odd place. But what a story for friends and family. And then I grabbed the other one, put him in a headlock, while still punching the third...
No deaths, no foul?
