The big Everest pitch

Regarding “The Real Payoff After Everest” [May 3]: I was at that conference and was fortunate to hear Jamie Clarke speak. It was a great presentation. Whether or not it was enough “business-related” -- we got plenty of upsell from another presentation.

You have given Jamie Clarke a nicely written front page advertisement but breeze over his account of the distressed climber calling his family. Was the climber fictional or real? If real, what was his name? Have you allowed showman Jamie to get away with lies, or does it even matter anymore?
