I referred to the level of competence of both C0dy Roman Dial and George Leigh Mallory, not the specific situation. CRD did not share McCandless' lack of wilderness skills and knowledge. He had experience in tropical regions and forests since an early age, mirroring or exceeding Mallory's skills and knowledge. I'm thankful for this sense of closure and relieved that he was not killed by a cretinous, fellow human.
