"Sharp was probably so close to death as to have been beyond help"

Yeah, help to keep him alive maybe, but the least they (any of the climbers) could have done was stay with him for the last few hours of his life, giving the poor guy some comfort. The Inglis party had over 40 members if my infomation is correct, surely a few of them could have stayed with him?

I agree with the second comment. If you have the energy to continue to the summit then you have the energy to help David Sharp.

"David Sharp left to die by 40 climbers". This may not be the truth. At least, this is not the full story. Turkish climbers declared a statement about David Sharp's death.
