"We really felt like we would have got to the top that day, but then we
met Lincoln. But that's OK, Lincoln has got a family, and I'm glad he's
still around."

It's a great, and rare, thing when those who are driven are even better
people!

a man with first hand knowledge in rescuing clients on Everest was appalled
at the actions so many climbers.
