Like I said, Hillary is the expert here, and his opinion on the topic carries more weight.
Who do you think carried the legless New Zealander down when he froze his legs? He's lucky someone was a better person than he is.
You gave nothing from Hillary. You made an empty statement.
"Who do you think carried the legless New Zealander down when he froze his legs?"
He was taken from a lower level and was also not as far gone. I gave you think link to a guy that does and did rescue folks. He does not rescue folks that are too far gone.
"He's lucky someone was a better person than he is."
It's obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about. I would have said the same thing to the dead guy before he went up and I'd go up spending less than he did. You go up into this place on your own. He went up unable to handle the task, with a team unable to handle the task.
