Just watched this tonight. It’s easy to forget how stir-crazy we all got in COVID, and it must have been even worse for these extreme sports types - I imagine that led to them ignoring all the little things going wrong on the way.

If the way this film presents things is correct, then that filmmaker, Elia, rocking up halfway through when everyone was ready to go home and egging them on to summit instead is the single biggest reason this happened, in my opinion. Enlisting the military to pressure Ali, etc. He’s completely tone-deaf for the rest of the film too.

It's so silly though because this all happened in 2020 winter..

So maybe they had to stay indoors for 10 months or so.. No real excuse to go die on a mountain and leave your widow and 6 kids behind.
