Well they didn't call for a rescue... and from the linked article:

>>>

The pair have global rescue insurance, but their families are paying for the costs upfront. A Gofundme page has been established to help with the payments. Donate to the rescue effort here.

Last year, Dempster and Adamson attempted the unclimbed North Face of the Ogre II. Near the summit, Adamson took a 100-foot fall, breaking his leg at 6,600 meters. The pair descended. A few rappels from the base, they ripped a v-thread anchor, sliding 300 feet on the Choktoi glacier. Miraculously, they walked away from the second fall without further injury.

but hey, don't let that stop your rant
