There are plenty of conflicts in writing, one of them is when people fight with their own self conscious and another is when Nature fights with them. Some of these conflicts can be won, they can be conquered, but some are just too horrible to even imagine. Some make their way into your mind with choices you make. Some just happen to people without the having anything to do with it. Either way, how would you feel if you had to make the choice to either die or make your friend’s dream a reality,…

The deaths documented in the book are not to be blamed on other people. Ultimately, self-preservation is a survival necessity and although some failed to see self-preservation as a top priority. Some of the climbers cared more about other people’s health more than their own, which in the end did not benefit them. Every climber is responsible for themselves, once they are okay then they can assist others, though it is not their job to look after each person. No one person is responsible for the…
