The Adventurist commented that I didn't read his later posts that acknowledeged Meagan McGrath really was the prime rescuer of Usha Bista. He was right. I didn't check his later reporting.
So I went back and checked.
Here are two quotes from his first report:
- "What Dave Hahn rightfully done was incredible, he saved a life that probably would have died within hours..but the media has already stepped in and skewed the story."
- "This is ALL Dave had to tell the Times, I guess, about this rescue mission, as nothing else was printed in reference to this conversation. Now, I am not going “whistle-blowing” here, but do you not think that Dave would have at least talked about the rescue mission and what occured while he was on the phone? It just seems like the rest should have been included. Or was it excluded for a reason?"
Meagan McGrath was honored recently for her daring rescue of Usha Bista by the Nepal mountaineering community. McGrath, who was on her descent after reaching the Mt. Everest Summit, encountered Usha Bista who had become a victim of Cerebral Edema, a build-up of fluid on the brain. McGrath was the first to come across Bista and soon she was joined by Dave Hahn and a member of his Sherpa team.Meagan McGrath, 29, from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada was given bouquets of flowers as well as ceremonial scarves by the Nepal Mountaineering Association for her efforts in this rescue and for being the first on the scene.
Usha Bista was able to be brought down to lower altitudes, where currently she is still recovering from the effects of cerebral edema–
What was I hoping for? Maybe a connection between "do you not think that Dave would have at least talked about the rescue mission " and "was it excluded for a reason". What was the reson?
Dave was "incredible" saving this life. Megan "encountered" Usha Bista. Hmm.
Listen to Meagan's audio account of what happened :audio recording

As I can see, you are going to continually misinterpret...or at least break it down to the tiny section that fits your needs with this site.
Once again you have used up countless space for nothing, as you try to build a point out of nothing.
I done a complete story on Meagan McGrath...that you fail to even mention...after this rescue was completed...
If you want to play hardball with someone about something...at least know what you are doing before you set out to pick little points that perhaps portray your points to your audience, but completely taken out of context...
People like you are why Everest has been garnering a bad name for the previous 10 years. You want to blab your mouth about something that you know absolutely nothing about and try to discredit someone who has been a part of it..
If you want to know the absolute truth, go figure out why Meagan Mcgrath..upon contacting David Hahn, decided to let David help Usha back to camp while she continued to the summit...
Like I say, you guys only jump on the parts you want to see and read.
Your point is skewed for the sake of the feminist role or whatever, and it has absolutely nothing at ALL to do with that. Check out the countless other stories that I also published about a few of the women on Everest this season...
As far as I am concerned, this discussion is final and complete, as well as worthless and based on lies...skew it all you want, but as I can see, I was the only one watching. Must speak volumns for your work.
Have a good day.
Thanks for your comments. You are right. I am only interested in the feminist stuff. You are right that no one reads my blog, it is only a private venting ... I have never expected a comment. Have never told anyone about the site.
I was not commenting about Everest, which, you are right, I know nothing about, only the reporting of events.
The only thing I keep pointing to is Meagan's audio.
