The walkers are nothing but a collection of narcissistic jerks who would put their personal trek over the life of a fellow walker and perhaps help him back down the mountain once he started suffering from altitude sickness.
But to leave him/her there to die while you continue your own personal walk to the top and ignore him/her on your way back down without bringing him/her with you is unconscionable.
As a side note, the least these narcissistic environmental pricks could do is take their trash and dead bodies home with them........
It’s the rich yuppie equivalent of “Hold my beer and watch this...”
At that altitude, you are lucky to get yourself down. One simply cannot assist others when oxygen is 33% what it is here. I have been to 18,000 feet; that is over 3 miles straight up......cannot imagine these altitudes.
