Some people seem a little hypocritical here.

On one hand they say, "These climbers are inexperienced."

And yet they expect these inexperienced climbers to perform a mountain rescue at 25,000 feet.

The thing about Everest is, you don't get there unless you have at least SOME big mountain experience. They all know what can happen. I personally don't know why anyone would sign up for something where there is a one in five chance you won't be coming back. I think with this years fatalities, it may even be going closer to the one in four ratio.
