I'm sure she's just awful as we're all imagining, but isn't it pretty well impossible to casevac somebody from these high altitude climbs once you get within a certain distance to the summit?
Edit: To clarify, this doesn't absolve the expedition of their culpability in this man's death, in that he clearly had no business being on that mountain and clearly wasn't properly vetted, likely because they wanted a mule and weren't concerned with the particulars

Yeah. I've read that on Everest there's no chance of rescue over a certain altitude.
