Haan expressed this ascent as beyond a religious experience. By taking such a large risk (death) he was living to the fullest. Life is about experiences and I bet that ascent accented his life. I don't understand how you can feel sorry for a person that was living their passion to the most ultimate level. I respect his bravery and hope that I may one day experience something like this.
