this is a stupid accusation. the video shows only several seconds of the situation while they claim to have attended to him for hours, removing all context. and they obviously don't understand how difficult it is to save someone on the top of such a high elevation mountain
Welcome to what we call news these days. You just described what my local teams would call "Investigative" reporting ie: "removing all context."
Yes but I also remember when a pair of climbers got sick on Nanga Parbat and they flew rescue team in a helicopter from K2 base camp to help them. They managed to get one climber down. For me it's clear that if the Norwegian lady got injured the ascent would be cancelled and no one would be stepping over her. But he was just a porter so tough luck, the show must go on.
