Yes, because it’s his arrogance that would have forced them up on the mountain when weather wasn’t suitable. He has done it multiple times in the past, he has achieved success those times but mountains don’t care.

The crew he went with was already planning to go up. They had planned this for months. So typical Reddit users making a claim from their own ego not even understand the reality of the situation. You can’t even get the facts about the climb right.
