James Kim made the main mistake. There is no way I would go over that pass in anything other than summer. That pass has claimed numerous people. It is nothing more than a paved wagon track over killer canyons.
Second guessing the searchers while excusing the driver serves no purpose.

Nobody excused James Kim for his mistakes. He definitely messed up and well I think he paid a pretty big price for his mistake.
I think SAR made some pretty big blunders here and I think people are just as easily excusing their mistakes.
Difference is...SAR gets paid to do what they do and when they make a mistake it just gets pushed aside.
James Kim made some mistakes and he is dead.
Don't you think this needs to be discussed to help this from happening again?
