was sharp not also known to be recklessThe thing with Everest is if you want to summit you have to leave the last camp very early morning and you must start your descent back down from the top no later than mid-day otherwise you will quite likely die from the extreme cold coming back down.
There is a photo took by some climbers who had just reached the last camp taking a photo of themselves which shows David Sharp further up the mountain in the background. He had left it far too late to summit at a safe time so in that sense he helped seal his own fate.
There is no helping anyone up there as if you can't come down under your own steam your not getting down at all.
As for the left dead, there is a ridge on Everest called Rainbow Ridge as if you look over the side you will see multicoloured snow suits with the corpses of unlucky climbers
