Raises some questions on multiple levels, but really I hope these guys make it out OK even though it doesn't look too good at the moment. Been missing 11 days now.

Wow, that is an awesome amount of money raised in a short amount of time!

Let's hope all works out ok in the end.

I'm gonna guess that you already know this wasn't the plan. The families are putting together this effort. The plan was to send or self extract.

Of course if you did know that from reading any of the information provided and still made this comment, that means douche. But really, I love your take on a human tragedy. Keep up the positive vibes.

Give Steve a break. When he climbed the Ogre, all three times in fact, he did it without gear and ropes, in just tennis shoes and a windbreaker. Old skool, baby.
