heck i'm no climber---but what are the odds that these climbers were --ahem --dare i even say it let alone think it in todays atmosphere of political correctness---climbing as a LifeStyle option-- not as a life-long passion-

yup that's it IMO they were after the bragging rights down the pub everything else including human beings are expendable to those in true persuit of a lifestyle

never could there be a clearer instance of people who dearly need to "get a life" then this bunch of wannabees
