As an X rescuer, glad they dint take some “rescuer” out trying to full fill their useless dream.

"..At least they died doing what they loved.."Amen to that.
Going thru that whole wasting away thing with a relative now. It ain't pretty. d;^)

Yes, they joined the ranks of all their friends who “really lived” They free climbed the highest peaks whihle holding on with their little “pinky”. So exciting a life in contrast to those of us in a lazy boy watching Tiger!

Doing anything in winter is a very highly risky exercise

Well, hopefully they were filmed by a “diverse” crew while they met their demise, as was Alex Honnold.

Thankfully, Alex is still with us. I still cringe when I think of that PC Oscar’s acceptance speech re: Free Solo.

"Washington native Roskelley, 36, was the youngest American to summit Mount Everest. He accomplished the feat when he was 20 with his father. John, who is also a well-known climber."
If I'm not mistaken the senior Roskelley (John) was a conservative who sometimes clashed with more "liberal" members of his expeditions. Years ago, I read a book about an ascent on K2 in which he was a prominent member, and was often at odds with others on the team.

I assure you, there is not a single person involved in mountain climber or wilderness rescue that does not beg, train, plead, scheme, volunteer, and cajole their way into such positions...not one.

To: Bell Bouy II
I am there sport. As in ***Right now***, at this very moment. And looking around, nobody was forced into it. Self promoting bitching is just a way to look cool and to express superiority over the lesser ones who need rescue.
But yeah, nobody wound up here because they hate to get the call.
