More than anything I mainly knew that Bjarne and I would be very inefficient at moving him out of the field, even if it was a self-supported evacuation. Remember, we only could see him through the screen of a drone, so had no real good diagnosis of what was going on, only that hie was and severely injured. With time running out, if we chose to both go up there and it was worse than we thought from the drone photos, we could've ended up killing him.
