Inglis backtracks
Well well what a surprise.
This from Stuff reports Inglis has made a statement to the media where he claims "the cold, strain and lack of oxygen might have caused him to mix up the details" and "I thought that I had heard/partaken in communications but that may be the radio traffic from the afternoon (on descent)."
Although I haven't seen the statement, I wonder if it contains an apology to the media who he accused were inaccurate in their reporting when all they were doing were basing their reports on inaccurate information supplied by him, which by the looks of it he is now admitting (is inaccurate). Fat chance.

How dare you armchair quarterback a situation like this. I've followed this story in great detail. And I read "Into Thin Air" a long time ago. Here's two facts that I'm mystified you overlooked - 1. Mr. Sharp was with a DIFFERENT EXPEDITION than Mr. Ingliss (who was part of Mr. Brice's expedition); 2. Mr. Sharp attempted to summit without enough oxygen and without help of sherpas. So where were his fellow team mates? Why did they LEAVE him there? Why should Mr. Brice and his team members be expected to now risk their lives because Mr. Sharp was incompetent and left to die by his own teamates. And if you know anything about mountaineering, up in the death zone you could lose your own life trying to save another. To expect that a man who is a double amputee should save this poor fellow is horrible. Check your facts before you start pointing fingers. Then point them in the right direction.
