I read that great book and one thing Krakauer writes about that has stuck with me is the ever-increasing number of wealthy "adventurers" with little mountaineering experience who pay huge sums of money to guides to take them to the top. All to often, these adventures have no comprehension (or are simply in denial) about how perilous an Everest summit is.
Terrific, heartbreaking book and TV movie. The selfishness of certain wealthy and vacuous people! Never mind that one woman was pulled and pushed up the mountain and likely carried back down. What a waste for the mountaineers who lost their lives. My sympathies to their widows.
