Story in The UK's Independent: Into the Death Zone by The Web Team
This story ran a few days ago in the British newspaper, The Independent. Jonathan Brown describes the effort of 17 climbers to rescue Inaki Ochoa, and suggests the attempt "has redeemed a sport once known for its selfishness". In the article, Sir Chris Bonington is quoted: "This was the community of mountaineers – the world's serious climbers – who have a terrific common spirit ... everyone did everything in their power to help and this is something we would like to see everywhere."
