Krakauer has been severely criticized by some for his account of what happened in that book.

For another side of the story, read “The Climb” by Anatoli Boukreev who was climbed that same year.

They died doing what they wanted, and knew the risks involved. I cannot
in any way set any special feelings aside for people taking such bold risks
and being killed for their efforts.

It's not like they didn't know that death was a major factor
by climbing this stupid mountain to bolster their Egos.
