Superfunkomatic - Observations of the Socially Inept

fantastic story on cbc. a climber on ascent of mount everest comes across a climber with no gear and left for dead by his sherpas. apparently within 200 metres of the summit turned back to save this fella’s life and return to the base.

can’t imagine nearly achieving the summit of one of your dreams only to have to return and hopefully come back for another attempt. true sacrifice to put someone else’s health and safety ahead of your own. i’m sure the australian climber’s family are eternally grateful.
