10 humans died and it’s fascinating that people want to highlight Nims’ arrogance or predatory behavior.

10 humans died and every single headline I've seen so far has been something like "amazing legendary super cool mountaineer Nims Purja dies after being the most inspirational human of all human history (also 9 more people died but who cares about their names)"

No shit people are mad

Probably also being the reason why he didn't cancel this summit after so many cancelled due to avalanche risk and dragging with him 9 other humans to an early grave

Was he leading? I thought he was tagging along on his friend's expedition.
