Oh yea it was a stupid decision
But to be able to make it to the top of that mountain at age 69, without any supplemental oxygen, and with a serious-sounding chest infection….probably 99% of people on earth couldn’t accomplish that physical feat at that age
And I wonder if people who see summiting as a self-actualization moment, especially at an advanced age like his, actually don’t care if they die immediately after. Or it could just be a combination of “I spent 50k on this and this is my last chance in life” + the brain being deprived of oxygen fucking with a person’s ability to reason the risk
