An Actual Summit Story
Yeah, it's Readers Digest and this controversy is endless, but it's a quick read and I admire the guys who saved a fellow climber more than the ones who walked past him to summit.

Lots of people have climbed everest, its really not that special.
Not many people have effected a rescue of another person in the death zone. That shit impresses me.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

Heroic story...amazing that so many people can be blinded by summit glory that they dis-regard all morals and respect for life.
After reading so many stories and seeing documentaries...summiting everest has turned into a tourist attraction for fortune 500 executives...the top is littered with oxygen bottles and trash because people dont have enough energy to take back what they took in...last thing i want to do is try killing myself to make it to 28,000 ft then go another 1000ft through a landfill...some things aren't worth it.

I cannot believe that people would pass by someone who was dying just to get to the summit. Ya, reaching the top of Everest is great, but saving some one else's life is greater... I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I passed by him
