BULLYING MOCKERS

[Duchess]

You know the rescue copters went after the rich pricks first and at least five teams demanded to be left there so they could try for the summit anyway? Fucking seriously. With five thousand dead somewhere below. The self indulgence of the useless and wealthy astounds me.

I just read this story and thought of you.

For one of its clients, millionaire Texas realtor David McGrain, it should never have taken that long to call off the climb, given thousands of people had been killed in the valleys below as well as 18 in an avalanche at base camp itself.

"The narcissism among some of my team mates made me want to vomit," McGrain said after leaving the camp by helicopter for the town of Lukla on Wednesday.

"All they could think about was their goddamn climb, when hours before we were holding crushed skulls in our hands."

McGrain, a former weightlifter and self-styled "adrenaline philanthropist" who has a tattooed chest and wears a gold nose-ring, was in a minority of one when he quit his party of at least 10 climbers, all clients of Himalayan Experience.
