They walked away from A FROZEN MAN WHO COULD NOT STAND, even with help.

Tell us Einstein, HOW WOULD YOU get a 250 pound popsicle down the 30 degree icy slopes of the highest mountain in the world?

<> LOL! That's a good one! Don't know how I'd do it, but I'd do something besides just walk away.

I have read the book about the 1995 expedition. National Geographic had a nice series called "Mountain Men" It profiled all the "big" mountains, Matterhorn, K2, Everest, etc. There is no correlation to saving a person drowning to someone dying on Everest, as some posters have tried to make. I have never tried to climb a mountain, but after reading and watching these programs, it takes every ounce of energy to just put one foot in front of the other. People who climb Everest or K2 are not greedy. I see it as the ultimate test of mind over matter.
