Krakauer questioned why Boukreev, a guide, had descended ahead of his clients to camp during the storm, implying negligence. For Boukreev, a Russian climbing legend who had summited Everest multiple times without supplemental oxygen, these accusations were a devastating blow to his professional reputation.

Boukreev argues that his decision to descend ahead of the clients was not an act of abandonment, but a calculated tactical move. He posited that if he stayed on the summit ridge in the deteriorating weather, he would have become another victim requiring rescue. By going down to Camp IV, he was able to rest and hydrate, preserving his strength to later venture back out into the storm to rescue three stranded climbers (Charlotte Fox, Tim Madsen, and Sandy Pittman).
