Lose the goods

Recently, I have watched several films related to mountaineering, and each of them has left a deep impression on me.
What makes Breaking Bad's failure feel amateurish, even stupid, is that the team didn't have to die. The leader's lack of discipline and emotionality lead to wrong choices, and luck can only bring irreversible consequences.
"Climbing Mount Meru" is respected, not because of the successful summiting of the technical profession, but as a brave man who constantly challenges the limit. When facing the last 100 meters of distance on the first summit, he can still keep his head clear and follow rational judgment. , restraining desire, resolutely giving up and retreating smoothly to avoid unnecessary losses. Not being persistent, not acting recklessly, and overcoming the weakness of human nature are the common denominators of all successful people.
And this "North Wall" makes people vomit blood, because you can't believe that the original advantage is obvious and success is in sight, but in the end, in an extremely humiliating posture, he was hanged in mid-air by a stupid knot and died of exhaustion. . At the same time it was incredible, I realized that we must be skilled, disciplined, rational judgment, and most importantly, we must choose teammates carefully.
Of course, the two protagonists themselves are good teammates. Unfortunately, they met, if not the most stupid and pig teammate in history, but also the most stupid and pig teammate in the world. It was a shame and a wrong death. But am I being too harsh? I think it was Tony who made the wrong choice, confining himself and his teammates, who were originally strong against risks, to an extremely passive situation.
After writing this, I finally realized that Tony was actually mad at him.

Breaking Elevation tells the story of a leader who was merciful and undisciplined, causing his entire team to fall into the abyss and embrace God himself. This tells us that the impersonal leader may be the real leader you can trust.
Climbing Mount Meru tells a story of inheritance and sex. No matter how talented you are, your teacher will take you to the next level and pass on the mantle to you. If you want to be a successor, you have to have basic love, strength, courage, tenacity, and most importantly, you have to be cautious, because only alive can you carry the mantle.
The North Wall tells a story about not easily merging a team you are not familiar with. Although your end points are the same, your starting points are different. You don't know if other teams will have pig teammates.

    Rob Hall: Can you just listen up? Guys? We got 2,000 feet, 600 vertical meters to Camp Four. It's roped all the way, so I know you can make it. Now, once we get to the yellow band we're gonna regroup, put on the masks, turn on the gas. Make sense?
