ericb Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 the irish are highly skilled in getting themselves killed for noble causes no respect.

OldManRock Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Buckaro makes the statement "Everyone almost died bringing Gilky's body back" - Art was alive when the they started the rescue and in fact was still alive after the fall, when Pete held eveybody.

glassgowkiss Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 It's pretty fucking simple. If you're reliant on porters carrying and fixing ropes for the final summit push on K2 you're probably in over your head. Hubris has a way of catching up with all of us. you have no fucking idea what you are talking about, do you? several of the dead were highly skilled climbers sweet jesus what more does it take to move this piece of shit thread to spray where it belongs? actually Hugh, you are wrong. I talked to several people who actually summited K2 and historically there were no fixed ropes above the last camp. so why now? Even highly skilled climbers make mistakes- vide K2 tragedy a decade ago. Looks to me if at present the climbers loose the ability to take care of themselves when shit hits the fan. and then they proceed to blame everyone else.
