Casual Observation

Simone Moro seems like an immensely interesting dude, but also incredibly arrogant. I definitely find the sherpa’s version of events more credible than Moro’s version. Ueli Steck seems really arrogant, too.

So, first they go monkeying around on the ice above the sherpas’ line-fixing crew, causing the highest altitude brawl in history, and then Moro pilots the highest altitude helicopter rescue in history, on the same mountain, in the same climbing season.

Pretty amazing.
