Wow. Gives me hope that I can climb again. I know I can hike, but I'd love to do rope climbs again. Wonder if they make an externally-worn assist device for those of us with damage to limbs that are still attached?

Turns out on his way up the mountain, Mark Inglis passed this guy and did not stop his hike to save the guys life. The article also mentions 3 other deaths in the past week. Apparantly it's dangerous to be in 100 below temps at 28 thousand feet. Go figure.

Just FYI, this is already the subject of an earlier WhiteBlaze thread. For what it's worth.
