      I think I take more exception with the uneven make-up of the expedition team. If 4 americans want to form a expedition to summit K2 then I applaud that, all of them are committed to what they are doing and are choosing to take an extreme risk with no coercion. But when half the team makers are living in literal poverty and are only choosing to take the risk because they have few other options, that seems kinda messed up.

      That woman… how stubborn can you be?

      How can you not realize the insanity of continuing when what takes others 20 minutes takes you 6 hours.

      Could it have been some form of suicide?
