Everest at any price? Letting a man die?

Everest at any price? Letting a man die?

This is a great article on the toll that personal achievement as taken on the sport of climbing. Most climber would do anything for anyone they are in kinship with. Perhaps this is the point. When you pay $60k to climb something, you feel absolutely no kinship, you don't respect others and you forget that base human instinct to help others. I mean, what the F? If you were walking down the street and you saw someone dying, would you walk past them? If it could be calculated who those climbers were who walked past this man en route to the summit, they should all be made to pay restitution to the dead climbers family, bastards!

This brings up other ethical concerns also. Do morals go out the window, when you engage dangerous sports? I don't think so. I think we all should learn from this tragic trend, and do something to help fix the problems. Even Sir Hillary is denouncing the current state of mountaineering on everest, come on folks, wake up.
