If you mean the russian, it's widely accepted that he's a dickbag and holds at least some responsibility for people dying on that day.

Why don't they just carve out a proper walking track to the top? Or even just a metal/wood walkway up there, that can be taken down in the future if greenies ever get elected in Nepal.

why not just build an elevator from the ground to the top?

what is Everest worth?

>>61753267
probably not, there isnt much in life thats worth your life

It's not though, that "dickbag" saved 3 people. Jon Krakauer is the one that wrote the book and in his narrative he put lot of blame on Boukreev. but when the Russian was saving 3 people in a storm, Krakauer was sleeping in his tent.

to them yes. to you no

people responsible for all those dead are the stupid dickbag tourists who have absolutely no business on that mountain.

Why didn't the alcoholic selfish mailman just fly the Eagles off of everest?

What's the point? Why not channel that energy into something useful?

Skydiving for recreation isn't terribly useful either. Are people not allowed to enjoy themselves if they have the time and money to do so? Just the fact that they were able to set up an Everest expedition proves that they are at the very least useful human beings, not just any jobless retard can do that
