You can fault people for their motives for going on the climb, but you must also fault the climber himself.
Instead of the $35,000 package with guides and sherpas to carry some of his load, he risked his life by going on the cheap, spending just $8000.
Only a self absorbed nihilistic a-hole would expect 40 others, who spent the money to do it right, to risk their lives to save his tight wad ass.
Un-believable.
