Biggest Douchebag In The Universe

Instant karmas gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin
Join the human race
--Lennon
Mark Inglis, otherwise known as the Biggest Douchebag in the Universe, aka: the amputee who climbed Everest...

... Also known as that guy who let a cold and helpless human being, David Sharp of the UK, die a miserable death atop the summit....for what? Because Inglis is a ****ing self-concerned moron:
In an interview from Kathmandu with The Press newspaper, Inglis said that ultimately it was the decision [to let Sharp die] of expedition leader Russell Brice for the team to push on to the summit.

The renowned New Zealand climber made the call from Everest base camp.

"Russell's the skipper in the whole expedition, because when you're up at 8500m, you're not thinking straight," Inglis said.

"It's just so difficult to look after yourself. To get David (Sharp) down would have taken 20 Sherpas and he would have died on the way down.

"Max (another client on Inglis' expedition) was very upset, and he spent a lot of time with David. Max had to be told to leave him," Inglis said.
Must have broke your heart to tell him, asshole.

I pray instant karma hits fast. He doesn't deserve his prosthetic limbs.

Here's a question: Do you think the original maker of prosthetic limbs (probably a doctor) was half as selfish as Inglis? What a tool. You know what's funny about losers like this? They surround themselves with total ****heads:
It was no use being a dead man's hero on Everest, said his father-in-law, Kevin Hathaway.
How about being no living man's hero, either? How about being a symbol of blind ambition?

Fuck Inglis, his crew, everybody on that mission, and every ****er who would leave a man behind. Oh, what'd Sir Edmund Hillary say?

Sir Edmund said today he would have abandoned his world-first climb had he come across anyone so ill and incapacitated on the mountain which has claimed about 150 lives.

"It was wrong if there was a man suffering altitude problems and was huddled under a rock, just to lift your hat, say 'good morning' and pass on by," he said.

"I think it was the responsibility of every human being. Human life is far more important than just getting to the top of a mountain."

Yeah, that's Sir Ed telling your sorry ass you are lesser than shit. You don't qualify as a member of the human race.

This is your fucking albatross. Wear it in shame, Inglis, you dipshit.

About, about, in reel and rout
The death-fires danced at night;
The water, like a witch's oils,
Burnt green, and blue, and white.

And some in dreams assured were
Of the Spirit that plagued us so;
Nine fathom deep he had followed us
From the land of mist and snow.

And every tongue, through utter drought,
Was withered at the root;
We could not speak, no more than if
We had been choked with soot.

Ah! well-a-day! what evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung."
--"Rime of the Ancient Mariner", Coleridge
PS: Fuck you. And the horse you rode in on.

"Human life is far more important than just getting to the top of a mountain."

This. The truth.


If the people doing that climb don't see it that way..
then you (should) know what kind of people you are around with.

I will say (in fairness to your opinion)...you were writing it within a year or so of events. People lambasted that guy unfairly.

Sharp climbed alone. With only 2 02 cannisters. He did not prepare correctly. He turned down the opportunity to climb with a recognized team AT COST because the owner respected his climbing ability.

He basically was the douche here.

Imagine you are on Everest...and come across woefully unprepared David Sharp. Unresponsive...out of it...telling you to bugger off. You are supposed to give up your own O2...your own safety...to get this giant douchebag down the mountain somehow.

It is basically impossible.

What you are really saying is...give him your O2....give him your time as the sun sets...and potentially give him your life....just so he doesn't die alone.

It's easy for us to chastise others for not helping. But if you were there, it is highly unlikely you would be the 5% of humanity that will sacrifice your life for another...it is even more improbable when you factor in that it would be a useless sacrifice since you still couldn't save him (get him off the mountain since he was immobile).

No, Sharp was an idiot and came to an idiot's end.
