A Selfish Summit
A Selfish summit.
Putting personal ambitions to summit ahead of historical science.
The aim of the expedition was suppose to be to find Irvine's camera. Not to summit and have no strategy/energy to look for Irvine's body or camera.
It seemed as though they had the mountain to themselves in the window they had. Why didn't the take the 'direct route' up to the summit along irvines route.
A more scientific process would have drawn more conclusions than a Nat geo funded summit for a couple of guys who "never had the desire to summit" until it was funded with camera crew.
Save yourself 1hour..
