In the Old Days, Mountaineers

may have been selfish to be apart from their families, but at least they had the excuse of trying to be the "first" to climb Everest or K2 or whatever. Nowadays mountaineers are just as selfish and leave their families just as much, but there is no damned excuse really to engage in such stupid behavior.

Nothing will stop the insane pursuit of something as risky as mountaineering. Perhaps, though, when they die on the mountains, this is a way for nature to get rid of the idiots in our midst. Unfortunately innocent people suffer as a result of their idiocy.
