I think they should outlaw bottled oxygen on Everest (and the other 8000ers). Would weed out the people who shouldn't be up there, and many people would turn back earlier if their bodies were not acclimatizing.

It's true that a lot of very good mountaineers would never be able to summit, but I think that is ok. I think Reinhold agrees with me, so that's my appeal to authority.
