I believe that on the final climb if you get in to a position where you need help you will die. You cannot be saved using the existing equipment and technology we have. You might as well be on the moon.
I think this is one of the factors that drive people to climb it.
I don’t believe any one of those climbers that walked past the dying man didn’t wish they could save him but had they tried they too would have died.
