Greg.
There was not any kind of lynch mob, i send the picture to show the situation.
Nobody touch Jason.
In the picture he is holding a beer and is enough room around him as he talk, also a cameraman of Red Bull, recording everything.
In his post he said that he was atacked by a patota, it is not true.

You use the word ¨apparently¨ to refer to the ascent of David Lama but you do not use the same word to said that ¨there was¨ a lynch moab, that was the cause of my reply.
Some people here are showing who they really are behind the masks and they also said what they really think of us, our deception is big.
As a preety young comunity, in some way , this days were the end of our innocence.
Sorry if I spoiled the atmosphere of the pictures and the previous comments.
Best wishes.
David.

David, I’m not quite clear what your comment implies… that there was a lynch mob in Chalten or that there wasn’t… perhaps you could clarify for us? Thanks, Greg

Sorry but i need to said that you should write that also ¨apparently¨ was a lynch mob in El Chaltén.
I post a picture in supertopo if you want to check the real situation.
Thanks again and regards.

David Albert

I know… poor Charlie… think of all he’s missed this week alone.

He and I sure had a big ride up there. We talked about it before he left on the expedition that killed him, both of us agreeing that we’d go to our graves seeing that sunrise. Didn’t think he’d be going so soon, however.

Life sure is sad. I guess the only thing we can count on is change.
Thanks Greg.

Thanks for checking in Paul! Glad you like the pics… it certainly was an event, fumbling with those little film cans with cold, battered hands. It was always such an event, post expedition, to spill all your just developed lides across a light table — hoping like hell that you’d managed to do it all correctly…

His father is a Sherpa and was ‘guiding’ his wife, David’s mother, who is Austrian. Great story as they met on a Trek 20+ years ago. It made us wonder if they intentionally bred a super climber by mixing a Sherpa and an Austrian. Just sayin’ is all.
