I agree with a lot of posters here, she was unprepared, naive and frankly probably deluded. While Climbing Everest is a an accomplishment, doing it the way that these "adventure" climbers are doing it is not what the accomplishment is about.

If anyone is interested in what a true climber is made of read "No shortcuts to the top" by Ed Viesturs, one of the few who has climbed all 14 peaks higher than 8,000 meters without oxygen.
