《登山，每日一话》------- Jim Curran

mintina

People got killed climbing with fixed ropes and without fixed ropes; people got killed at the top of the mountain and the bottom; old people got killed and young people got killed. If anything was common to most of the deaths it was that a lot of people were very ambitious and had a lot to gain by climbing K2 and a lot to lose as well. Casarotto, the Austrians, Al Rouse, the Barrards were all-the word that comes to mind is overambitious. I think if you're going to try alpine-style ascents of 8,000-meter peaks you've got to leave yourself room to fail.

                                                        -Jim Curran, writing about the disastrous summer of 1986 on K2.

与固定绳索或不与固定绳索相连的人们死去了；在山峰顶部或是底部的人们死去了；年老的人死去了，年轻的人也死去了。如果说死亡有共同之处，就是很多人非常有野心，很多人因为攀登乔戈里峰而收获，许多人也因为攀爬这座山峰而失去。所有人，Casarotto，奥地利人，Al Rouse和Barrard兄弟－头脑中显现出的词语都野心过大，我认为如果你将尝试在八千米级别山峰上进行阿尔卑斯式攀登，你需要为自己留出失败的余地。
