Dying for Everest

On 15 May, 2006, double amputee Mark Inglis reached the summit of Mt Everest. It was a remarkable achievement and Inglis was feted by the press and public alike. But only a few days later he was plunged into a storm of controversy when it was learned he and his team mates had passed an incapacitated climber, Englishman David Sharp, leaving him to a lonely death high in the Death Zone.

In Dying for Everest we hear their stories and witness the strange effect Everest has on the rules of survival. And at the end, we are able to judge for ourselves the morality of climbing in the Death Zone.

@2011blueman

Sorry for the absence (took a few weeks beach vacation. It was very nice, thank you).

Anyways, I'd like to point out your attempt to engage me in a pissing contest over who's climbed what was pointless to begin with. How much experience you or I have has no relevance on the fact that a rescue for Sharp was not feasible.

@loner1878 sweetie you picked the arugement with me. Like you do with the other commenters on this vid. you're wrong. Get over it already x)

[loner1878]

@shawent

What "fact?" There's nothing but an opinion and a company promo there. And two rescues done under different conditions.

@MzChelxoxo

LOL, "everyone." Who, your imaginary friends?

"Stop being obsessed and get over it :D"

Maybe you should follow your own advice rather than being a flagrant hypocrite XD

[shawent]

@loner1878 Before you comment back,read what is posted . Apart from that guys opinion,there is actual fact and the words of mark woodward himself so why dont you go argue with that.Tell you what ,I'll keep my opinion to myself when you keep yours to yourself ,hope that helps.

[MzChelxoxo]

@loner1878 yup. everyone knows he could have been saved. Stop being obsessed and get over it :D

[loner1878]

@shawent

Some guy's opinion doesn't count as "facts." Keep your opinion, like anyone cares.

[loner1878]

@MzChelxoxo

LOL, "knows." Its just your uninformed opinion, honey.

[gullf1sk]

@vogueology Yeah, not even close to the same fucking thing.

Climbing that fucking rock is POINTLESS.

Soldiers fight for whats right, and liberty for those who cant defend them selves.

The heroic people during 9\11 did it to save the lives of the people who were trapped.

The people who helped out with the oil spills literally saved the entire east coast of the US.

Fuck mountain climbers who achieve NOTHING but a hardon over they accomplishment and causing pain to others.

FUCK THEM.

@loner1878 .I am aware that he signed on with 'Asian Trekking' and he also took on one hell of a risk going alone without the proper support or gear.Ive read the facts, still doesnt change what happened does it ? You can see in one of my 'multiple posts' what mark woodward himself said ,those are his own words ,no arguing with that really is there.

[shawent]

@loner1878 Yes it does look like a promo doesnt it , trouble is it isnt ,these are not my words these are the cold hard facts that I came across. As I have said before ,I am not blaming any one person but it does make you think .As I've also stated before ,I think they did the wrong thing leaving him, my opinion and that will never change.
