K2 mountaineers have accused fellow climbers of skirting around a dying Sherpa to reach the summit of the 'savage mountain' because they were more interested in setting records than saving the life of the stricken porter.

As Mohammad Hassan lay seriously injured, 1,300ft from the summit of K2, dozens of fellow climbers carefully edged towards him, risking their lives as they clung to the side of the narrow ledge.
They then clambered around the stricken 27-year-old as they left him to die while continuing their own personal bid for glory.
After footage of the incident emerged, Norway's Kristin Harila and her team who passed by Hassan are now facing claims they were more interested in securing a new world record than helping the stricken climber. She is also accused of holding a party shortly after clinching the record that saw her climb 14 of the world's highest peaks in just over three months despite Hassan's death.
On 27 July 2023, Harila and Tenjen (Lama) Sherpa, a guide from Seven Summit Treks,[13] established a new record summiting all 14 true geographic summits in just 92 days, under Harila's latest project “She Moves Mountains“.[7][14][1][15][2] In the process, Kristin and Tenjen broke multiple records, including 26 eight-thousander summits in 1 year and 3 months and also the fastest Everest and Lhotse summits by a female, in 8 hours. They used helicopters to move between base camps and added supplemental oxygen.[9] Harila initially, in her recent project in 2023, “She Moves Mountains”, planned to scale the mountains without supplemental oxygen. But later, she had to use oxygen cylinders because of safety issues.[7][14]

Lazy, resentful Sherpa maliciously uses his body to try to prevent heroic woman from reaching K2 mountain summit.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2023-08-11 at 11:08 AM UTCFucked up but I was actually reading a ton about Everest today for totally different reasons? I was exploring the Hereford Mappa Mundi, and looked up a feature I found on that map which was labelled "Charybdis" (whirlpool monster from greek legend, the one on the map corresponding with some IRL whirlpools in... I wanna say Norway, ironically), which led me down a tangential wiki investigation rabbithole: first to the "Charybdis icefall", which led to me reading about icefalls in general, which led to the southern ascent of Everest which traverses the Khumbu icefall.
Weird af how that happens. Did I kill this nigga?
Also, fun fact: he wasn't a Sherpa. Sherpas are a Tibetan/Nepalese ethnic group who are largely Nyingma Buddhists. This nigga was a Pakistani named Mohammed. Also, even according to the article you posted, there were other "sherpas" present who are just as guilty of abandoning him and whose judgment on whether or not that was the "right call" it would probably make sense to defer to. (Being that they are the guides and nominally the 'experienced' climbers in an expedition, who are present as much for their knowledge of mountaineering as they are rich people's desire to have someone else carry all their shit.) -
