The story doesn't end there. A group of climbers went up. A blind climber dies and they leave his body. On the way down an another climber, an Australian, is left for dead. They knew he was dead because they poked his eye and no reaction. They even relayed his death to his wife and sons. Another climber on his way up saw that the Australian was disorientated and very much alive. The reporters have pressed and pressed this guy why he would save this climber and forsake his climb to the top. I'm sorry but here on the ground where I have plenty of good oxygen, seems such a silly question. It is the climbers that have forsaken the near dying that need to be strung up.
We attain our loftiest heights
when we reach down
to lift another.
