I was bashed quite a bit for supporting this kind of action in the previous case. Nice to see SOME Americans still think human life is tantamount to climbing a freaking mountain many have climbed already.
I would like to see the British Government give him a knighthood or something. I would like to see those who left him to die publicly shamed throughout the climbing community.
What a good person this man is.
This fellow they found was in much better shape than the one mentioned in the other thread, IIRC. What I find disappointing are the Italian climbers that refused assistance.
An all around Darn Good Day today.
I hope this thread gets as much attention as the other threads received. Too often the good in this world is glossed over.
This guy is a hero, but to be fair, I don't think anyone is a villain for ignoring another climber in such trouble at that height. Everyone has to decide for himself whether or not he'll risk his life for another. There are plenty of would-be heroes that have ended up being awarded the wooden cross.
