As a leader and the most experienced of the team, letting an inexperienced wife and son each hike solo at high altitude and in the darkness for long periods of time is extremely irresponsible and selfish. It puts everyone at higher risk, including the leader himself (e.g. the 3 hour wait at the summit). The son does not need to learn to be independent. The father needs to learn team work, wilderness safety, and responsibility...
One may get lucky once but sooner or later luck will run out if no lesson is learned from this experience... No equipment and gear in the world will give your the proper protection if one starts off with the wrong attitude and mind set.
All I can say is ignorance and arrogance will kill

你也讲得太严重了。你我都爬过Whitney,知道主道没那么可怕,道很明显,人也多。

一天上下14er的高原反应的概率不大。走慢一点。他们只是事先没有商量好。
