I think we get a free pass on that one. You think we're over-critical of her now that she's dead, you should see the poo poo we slung before she died. That woman was not prepared to climb Everest.

The 2013 fight between sherpas and Euli Steck + company was a major disappointment to me. If there is anything I would like to see on Everest, it's more alpinist-style climbers going up there without fixed lines alongside a team of sherpas in some high altitude traffic jam. And then some famous alpinist climbers set out to do just that and got attacked by sherpas because they had to cross over a line the sherpas were fixing and allegedly knocked ice down on them.
