I tend to have more admiration for those who do incredible things, really know their stuff and keep doing it into thier old age. Like Rheinoldt Messner. These young guys were fools. They were tempting fate (evidenced by their previous trip) - lucked out only so long. Yes, this particular accident may have been a freak accident but the way they were going, they were going to die young at some point. When you depend on luck and bravado, it runs out at some point.
