"...Badly, badly sprained ankle..." Yes that must have hurt and I bet my climbing partner with the fractured ankle (confirmed by x-ray in Anchorage) was feeling some pain too but we climbed for 11 more days.
The simple fact of the matter is the lady is alive. Sure you armchair her injuries and critique what she should of, could of done but really what is the sense? You were not there and certainly not privy to all the details of what transpired so what gives you the privilege to be so judgmental and so unfairly compare her situation to others?
She is alive and will live to run another race and hike another day and quite frankly, thats all that matters. What more can you ask for in life?
