It's OK buddy - NHPS will take you in, and even waive the initiation fee (which is....steep...haha...)

Sounds like a big stink over nothing.
"For his part, Stangl believes that he has closed the book on the subject, saying that he climbs only for himself, doesn't need to be on any lists, and that he alone knows the truth of his climb."
That's what matters.

I climb for myself (this is not to be misconstrued as not caring for other's safety, merely that I climb for my own spiritual reasons), not for anyone else. It appears to be the same for him. Let others be bothered over whether or not a person has stood on an essentially meaningless peace of ground. It's their time that they're waisting over being bothered.

Yes, the snow up to Camp 4 WAS waist deep. :lol:

Let there be no further doubt. Stangl confessed. Blamed it on a altitude/exhaustion related delirium that made him believe he was on the summit.
