ahh loved this one! I spoke about Pittman and how she didn't change her values as a person and I incorportaed some very nice quotes into it.
next i spoke about hall and fischer and how they didn't change their values from a business perspective to a safety perspective - they were concerned about getting people to the summit which blinded everything else.
lastly was boukreev and how he has always had the strong values to get him through and how he did not have to change his values to survive the weather conditions

Wow
damm i didnt use any of those lol!.

I talked about krakauer ignoring harris for his own safety to get back down.

and the imax expedition showing altruism even in the extreme conditions

and the Japanese climbers

and mike groom gave his oxygen to krakauer ( showed alturism and didnt change to become selfish ) = helped him survive in the conditions
