Yeah that tent/sleeping bag thing woulda flipped me out..well if I weren't to exhausted to be enraged maybe. Mountainside murder sure popped into my mind there.
The real questions i would have had were about the decisions to help during the blizzard at C4. There is a point at which you might have to abandon someone. Alot would depend on your condition, your confidence in your survivability. I would like to know how close to the edge Warner and his team felt they were pushing it that day.
It echoes the type of things you saw with Boukreev (sp?) during the Everest situation related by into thin air. The difference between extremely strong and experienced people and those not as capable.
Does he feel that most of the folks who left C4 so fast..had to or just panicked?
Also I'd have technical questions about their acclimatization strategies.
Guess I'll just have to hope to catch one of his talks sometime.
