Krakauer did not come off very good in the recent Everest film


The general theme over the past 20 or so years, though, is commercializing the Everest expedition increased risk and really muddled the overall goal from achieving the summit to getting your money's worth. That was the whole issue surrounding Krakauer's particular expedition - competing guide companies vying for 'summit time.'
