    When Alison Hargreaves became the first woman to scale Mount Everest alone and without oxygen, she sent a radio message to her children: “To Tom and Kate, my dear children, I am on the highest point of the world, and I love you dearly”http://nyti.ms/2GvC5Do

        "Some called her selfish and criticized the choice to leave behind young children to put herself in harm’s way. Similar denunciations were not leveled so harshly against the fathers who died on the mountain alongside her."

        But then she died on descent from next mountain. The conundrum here is about parental obligation vs personal pursuit of passion. I'm fine with the latter if the former is the clear priority.

        PS/ It's easy to judge from the comfort of a living room. Alison didn't go there to die. She went there to live. And to make a living. That was her livelihood. Some of us have the DRD4-7R restless or adventure gene. 20% of the population have it. The other 80% who don't,

        5/ and this article mentions her now. Anyway, she jumped teams midway in K2. She originally arrived as part of a 2 member team with Alan Hinkes, who summited and descended uneventfully days earlier with the dutch team, which had very angry balti porters who broke trail for them.

        2/ we knew that K2 was being attempted by Alison and others. I'll never forget what Rob said in that lunch at our BC. He said "I'm going to climb K2 or die." At the time I thought, what an ominous thing to say. As it happened, he did both on that fateful day. We could see

        4/ like climbing a deity. I thought he meant because of the conditions. Our victory in Broad Peak was overshadowed by the K2 tragedy. I didn't know Alison, I just met her, yet I'll never forget her. Funny thing, I talked about Alison's exploits to a climbing student yesterday,

        That’s pretty cool, but one of the most selfish stupidest things a mother can ever do. She abandoned her kids & risked her life that could of left her kids motherless all to see if she could climb up a hill. Did she even have life insurance?

        PS2/ think we're crazy for going. And we think we'd be crazy not to go. Sir Francis Younghusband famously said when he was asked why do it, "go there and you will understand". He also said "mountains reserve their choice gifts for those who stand on their summits."

        PS3/ Mountains and extreme adventure are not for everyone, we know. We just love it and can't live without it. We're all going to die, but to live life to the full in a simple, honest and brave way can't be all bad. Perhaps that's why Mencius said "I dislike death but there are

        PS4/ things I dislike more than death. Therefore, on occasion, I will not avoid danger." Nietzsche said, "I never felt more alive than when I was in danger." They say a little suffering is good for the soul, so that's what we do, it's the greek concept of Ponos, to cleanse us.
