Pretty safe bet that they more likely fell within the category of "extreme thrill seekers" (ie: tourists) rather than real enthusiasts or professional climbers. Though even then I don't know how they rationalized their actions. I suppose they simply thought a human life worth less than whatever their trip cost them.
