Well he did try to help her:

The South Africans called off their own attempt to reach the summit and tried to help her for more than an hour, but because of her poor condition, the perilous location and freezing weather, they were forced to abandon her and descend to camp.[3] She expired as they found her, lying on her side, still clipped onto the guide rope.

Well, at least he got to finish he climb to the top. I'm glad he feels good about his choice.


That kind of embodies the screwed-up system in place right now. Anybody with a pair of boots and a big check can make the attempt, it seems. If you get in trouble then somebody else who wrote a big check has to take a really write-off if they're going to help you, which isn't fair to them if you shouldn't have been up there in the first place.

Maybe there's some sort of vetting system in place that I don't know about, but it seems like you shouldn't be allowed to try these mountains unless you have a strong shot at finishing.

That said, if 94 percent of people make it, maybe that's the right proportion. If you're in the bottom 6 percent you're calling forth the HMS Beagle.

That said, I would have a hard time passing someone to get to the summit instead of trying to help them.

I bet that's why he died. He probably forgot to bring boots.

True story: I went to the Boundary Waters for a week, and I left my second pair of shoes in the car, so I went an entire week without getting my feet wet. That's never been done before in the Boundary Waters.
