Jon Krakauer was suppose to come down with her but some how he simply abandoned her. He blame everybody else specially Anatoli Boukreev but he never put blame on himself since he was not a paying client, cheap bastard. He was there just to sell his book and that book is made up and full of lies and simply eronous facts.
*I Love the Topic, but I just Wish that I could Find a Person who Speaks EngLish to Give this Lecture!!!* *I Haven't Listened to this GarBo Mouth Yet, but I am NOW BuiLding Up the Courage!!!!* *Seee My AvaTar!!! Is AnyOne AbLe to TeLL, wut it IS????*
The tragedy of Casarotto is that he did nearly everything right - he turned around high on the mountain when he felt the conditions turning only to fall into a crevasse a short hike from base camp, all the while in radio contact with his wife 😢
Rob Hall wasn’t just a climber he was heading an expedition to the summit which meant climbers failing to reach summit would not bode well for his reputation so might explain why he disregarded the strict time table…

The main tragedy is Ueli Steck. His first on Annapurna is by far the most important. But we have seen that Sherpa enjoy their title of “real heroes” except when better western climbers embarrass them. They have blood on their hands.
I have just one question…. How do these people afford to do this stuff, are they so rich they don’t need to work and can travel around the world climbing?
Ok from what I see it is all human error too many trying to go up in 2 day window after waiting 2 months they go up come what may also the Koreans big group slowed them down is why first guy tried to by pass. See the basque lone climber got up and back in daylight. Then again terribly dangerous conditions .
The simple point is glacial mountains are source of ice and clean water is drained since centuries long and glaciars are main source of clean and drinking wAter free from he'll insects snakes lizards whilst black mountains carry all the he'll stuff although there would be considerable sources of plants woods grass but along this there are all dangerous species like lizards snaks and worms. Glaciar mountains and their terrain is sacred places and God has kept these glaciers very far from hymen approach. This due to founders of glaciated mountains are like saints and goddess. It is just an imagination for self and for those felt about. The majestic giants. One intresting event focused on Pakistan s hunza anger valley we have heard and read about thiet article many people visited mount rakhaposhi years tool down from their eyes and and they become so excited seeing this moutain and some of visited said we come twice or more and do not want to turn away from gazing the mountain. A couple who resides there in front of this mountain they states we can't wait to gaze at. All the time we keep our window and door opened
100% of people who don't try to climb Everest do not die on Everest. It's like going to Vegas and betting all of your money and then calling it tragic when you lose and are completely broke. Problem is, in Vegas, you can still go home a broke man. On Everest you go home a dead man.
I blame Rob Hall, no one else. Rob was the boss, and he should have made the decision to turn around when he saw that Doug would not make it. Russell Brice always did this, he turned around clients, and never lost one!
Krakauer is the sort of person who will deny that the sun had risen because he wasn't there to see it. Was he jealous of Boukreev's outstanding, almost inhuman achievments? Was he a hater? In any case it would appear he was rightly schooled, and deservedly so.
Krakauer needs to rescind his words, and give the money he made on that blaming book to Anatoli's g/f (at the time). A writer, who didn't attempt to help anyone, has nothing to say about Anatoli.
33:40 My memory from listening to Cecilie describe this years ago was she and Nessa couldn’t see the rope was broken and didn’t move until the sun started to come up…
Say what you want about Anatoli but he was Superman that day on Everest. Without him, more people would have died than did. The man went 3 times out in that storm to rescue people. That Krakaur wants to take shots at Anatoli is WAY uncalled for. Did not see Krakaur helping out in the storm or hear of him risking his life to save others. In regards to Krakaur, I personally think he is jealous of Anatoli and his accomplishments. Regardless, Anatoli Boukreev is a giant of mountaineering and he left behind VERY large footprints to fill. May he rest in eternal peace in his beloved mountains.
Honestly if you are so dependent on other people having fixed ropes for you to the point that you rather scrap your turnaround time than go on independently or abort the attempt you shouldnt be on K2
