Reinhold Messner on the Jon Krakauer/Anitoli Boukreev Everest Contoversy

Simone Moro, an heroic Italian climber, in an interview with John Martin Meek said Anitoli Boukreev had more than once asked Jon Krakauer to help him rescue other climbers on Everest in 1996 and Krakauer had refused. In a 2011 interview with Meek Reinhold Messner defended Krakauer's decision.
