Yeah... there is noting wrong with speculating and trying to learn, unless you go ahead and do it... LOL.
How many unplanned bivys above 13,000 feet and SARs in the two years following your Shasta trip did you have?
BTW- that isn't a vague comment. Simple question you do not want others to know the answer to or the details around them.

He should go and formulate his conspiracy theories with Eric Willhite. They're on the same illogical and demented mental plane.
Mark Thomas, what I asked was for you to go ahead and fill us in... about how you press on pushing yourself and your team into dangerous situations. You have been involved in SARs within 2 years of pushing Tom into dangerous conditions that ended up deadly. How many unplanned bivies did you have in that short time? Several that I know about- doing the exact same thing that led to a tragic event beforehand. And you have tried to push others into dangerous situations on other occasions, but I and sure that it was never YOUR mistake.
YOU never learned anything because it was never YOUR fault. YOU just happen to always be there ready to blame something else, never taking any responsibility whatsoever for YOUR decision making. And anyone more competent is an ass for pointing it out right? How is it most climbers can go their entire life not being on the receiving end of a SAR, but YOU are involved in them all the time? That is why you don't like others talking about YOUR climbing history. That is why you didn't answer my questions. It is always unavoidable right? It is always someone else's fault right?
