should take into consideration other people. Those who rescue people stranded on a winter climb are risking their safety and lives - did you see the rescuers on Mt. Hood in the blizzard? A few years ago a helicopter carrying rescuers crashed on Mt. Hood. They all survived but were injured.
Seeing Kelly James' son's face during the week was heartbreaking. His fear and pain was palpable.
If those three men could come back to life - having seen the grief of their loved ones - I am sure they would say it was not worth it.
I guess we do not agree on this issue.
