Is Woodal a Threat to Himself and Others?

On pages 228-229 when Hall’s surviving team is trying to borrow the South Africans radio to communicate with camp 2 but Woodall won’t let them use it. What does this show about Woodall? Also, will Woodall make any more poor decisions like this again?

I think that Woodall is selfish and unreasonable when he made this decision. Also, when Woodall didn’t let Hall’s team use their radio this shows he is a poor leader who will not share anything with other people. I think further on in the book that Woodall will make a terrible mistake that will cost many lives and maybe his own.

Drew, I agree with you about him being unreasonable, but I don't think he was being too selfish. With all of the stress on the mountain, Woodall could fear of losing his radio. He may be selfish that he is not letting someone else use his things, but would you let someone use something that is really important to you? One thing I think we should learn is that people should try to help others and not always think about themselves.
