Jon a leader?

After the deaths of the guides, I believe that Jon was looked up to as a leader. Even though he had no previous high altidude experience, Jon was always hanging out with the good climbers climbing without using the ropes. After the major climbers died, I think it would be assumed that Jon a leader. When the South African expedition had a radio, the climbers asked them to give the radio to Jon. I believe that the responsiblilty of leadership fell upon Jon when the guides died.

If you were injured or sick with a disease would you still want to climb a mountain that you have always dreamed of climbing.

Why the trained, not the rookies.

Why do you think that Andy Harris, Rob Hall, and Scott Fischer, who are clearly more professional, die and not the rookies like Jon and the rest of the clients?
