That's some hardcore shit right there.
He sounds like he has a touch of the prick in him - but for somebody who's climbed everest without O2, I think I can probably forgive him for that.

I think it's hilarious when mountain climbers die.

A guy I went to college with died climbing the Matterhorn. He was always pushing himself just a little too far. He was around 5'8" and 140 pounds, and played rugby for the school.
There's a scholarship fund in his name now that I donate to every year.
Cheeky little bastard.
