You put in many more words what I was going to respond with: “he’s a fucking asshole and, if you can believe it, this article is being incredibly generous to him”. Part of the reason I posted this is the dude has been on K2 for a while now attempting a winter summit. I would’ve been super pissed if he was the first person in recorded human history to pull off that mountain in winter. Instead, I am beyond thrilled to report that nine(?) sherpas (your brown folks in the above comment) were the ones to pull it off.
