Sometimes we're just in the wrong place at the wrong time and all that.<BR/><BR/>But to walk away cavalierly and leave him to die so they could finish their climb? That's fucking cold people. Cold.<BR/><BR/>May lonely deaths be upon them all.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285022995382998642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540271.post-1148784347476378012006-05-27T22:45:00.000-04:002006-05-27T22:45:00.000-04:00I'm sure SCUBA style buddy breathing would work up...I'm sure SCUBA style buddy breathing would work up there, and maybe one or two guys might not have been able to save him, but I imagine 10 or 20 or 40 could have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540271.post-1148647215325420752006-05-26T08:40:00.000-04:002006-05-26T08:40:00.000-04:00Bzzz...

Thank you for playing though.<BR/><BR/>You do not leave a human being to die so you can finish an ego boosting climb up a mountain.<BR/><BR/>No, they probably couldn't have saved him. But you don't just walk away to finish your personal quest while the man is gasping his last breath. At the very least you can stay with him and offer what comfort you can. Even if it means you don't make it to the summit.<BR/><BR/>Those "mountaineers" seriously need to re-examine their priorities. And so do the people defending them.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285022995382998642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540271.post-1148642835952345232006-05-26T07:27:00.000-04:002006-05-26T07:27:00.000-04:00Hi! :) Just dropping in after surfing the blogos...Hi! :) Just dropping in after surfing the blogosphere.<BR/><BR/>I have to disagree. I don't think the mountain climbers were bad samaritans, evil, or anything else. They're just ordinary people. What could they have done?<BR/><BR/>I'm wondering what, if anything, the team of 40 could have done for this guy. If the conditions at that height are so severe that corpses are littering the mountainside and no one's been able to remove them, then how could this climbing team have rescued a man dying from oxygen deprivation?<BR/><BR/>"Duh, just give him oxygen." Right? Well, the climbers brought enough for themselves, and no one else. Where would this extra oxygen have come from? The team of 40, I'm presuming, wasn't a team of highly trained EMTs and doctors who could have rescued Sharp from the brink of oblivion. They were just climbers.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that if there was *something* they could have done under the circumstances without putting their own lives in severe peril, they would have done so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
