Thank you so much for replying! I was afraid it'd be too touchy a subject. I will certainly have to read your book now, too.

Hello Alison! Thank you for doing this AMA.

I've always been fascinated about the "summit fever" mentality. Specifically, the case of David Sharp sparked a lot of controversy over whether it was ethical to leave the man to die. As we know, he indeed died and many blamed Mark Inglis' team for passing by Sharp's dying body more than once.

Realistically, when does the summit overtake the life of another? (I'm sure we'd like to say it never does but this clearly isn't true all the time). Or is it simply a matter of being in the death zone and not being able to save a dying mountaineer? Who perhaps ought to have been better prepared.

I've never been close to such hostile environments (the death zone), I'd like to know what an experienced person thinks.

What was Lemmy like off the stage?

Was he introverted or a huge fan of groupies? Did he have groupies?

Thank you for doing this man!

Ghanaians* - sorry I'm that bastard.

Awesome! He was just a man, of course. It's easy to forget that though and become caught up in the celebrity!

Thanks again 🙂
