The couple reached Camp 4, the final camp, at 3,000 feet below the summit, before both suffered from altitude sickness. It caused fluid to build up in Strydom’s brain, which killed her Saturday. Gropel, alive but fighting a fluid buildup in his lungs, had to be taken down the mountain by sled

they probably got early signs of being sick but decided to stay and tough it out.

the whole venture was dumb

anyone who dies on Everest was asking for it.
