I guess as nobody posting here was there at the time so we can all only speculate as to the real situation.
However after speaking to the person directly involved it was much more than i am a bit tired and want to go home. It was a case of the other member of the party being incapable of continuing safely. I raised all the relevant concerns and after a heated discussion i believe the only real course of action was ring for help. There were some comments re abseiling to ledges, prussiking etc however the ill climber was totally incapable of doing this. It might seem like an easy option to ring for help but that may well have been the tougher choice. |
