> FWIW, I don't like to judge on these. High up on a mountain like that is a very dangerous place to be. Not having been in that position I can't really decide if not stopping to be with someone dying is like not stopping to be with someone dying in a burning building, if you see what I mean.
Not stopping to help someone when on your way down, tired and cold, is one thing. Not stopping to help on the way up to the summit is something else. I'd like to think I'd stop and attempt to help in both scenarios but having never been there, I've no idea how I'd react/what I'd do.
