Peter Kinloch's team, who you've been attacking here, made a stronger effort to save him than Clyde did with Dulley, and at a much higher elevation. This by Clyde's own account.
I look forward to your rationalization.
Chief, your wrecking havoc with my piano practice, and today is Robert Schumann's birthday.
Ah, where did I ever attack Kinloch's team????
I am attacking the entire Big Mountain Expedition $$ Machine as a whole.
According the article of April 17th, they were separated due to the freak big ass storm. Once Clyde realized that they were apart, he immediately retraced his steps and later found Dulley, dead. How can that be in any way shape or form characterized as an abandonment?
"This article announces funeral services for William C. W. Dulley, who was frozen to death in a blizzard near Piute Pass on April 8. "He had gone with Norman Clyde", says the article, "from Andrews Camp over the pass and attempted to make an ascent of Mt. Humphries. When the blizzard struck, the two men started back toward Bishop. As they neared the snow line Clyde suddenly found himself alone. He retraced his steps and discovered his companion lying dead in the snow. The body was recovered on the following day", concludes the report."
Besides, 1935 in the High Sierra and 2010 on Everest are two completely different worlds. First off, no radios, Sat Phones etc back then to communicate with.
No rationalization cuz it weren't no abandonment. Clyde did in fact assist in the return of Dulley's body for a proper burial.
