It takes all kinds. The really brave adventurers are relatively rare. Now they have this experience of taking unconditioned men and women that can pay the cost on group climbing of Everest. Huge dangers involved. Especially in “the death zone.” Particularly when the climbers are inexperienced.
Stupidity to my mind. Even the experts die there.
Agreed, those men were not like the modern "adrenaline junkie" with more money than sense. Many modern "adventurers" are just self-absorbed f**k-bags that would do well to not reproduce.
