So I'm to believe that 40 climbers couldn't carry a single person?
What a bunch of bull! They left him behind out of their own greed.

Anybody who uses the word "Greed" should be thrown off this forum.
That being said, 40 people could not carry a man down from the summit of Everest.
A climber in trouble must....MUST, be able to walk / crawl and be able to descend 3 rock faces known as "steps" and traverse several areas that are just a few feet wide with a 14,000 ft. drop on one side, and a 10,000 drop on the other over snow with shifting rocks underneath.
All this while your own body is consuming itself, your mind is sluggish if not hallucinating, and when it can take minutes to take one step while also contending with below zero temperatures and winds that can exceed hurricane force.
But hey.....have at it.
You try it.
