That's a speculative statement. "it makes little sense" as an argument is weak on its own, but is 10x weaker when it's based on supposition you just invented regarding the state of their tent and their somehow knowing that state well.
- goatlover 5y agoThe state of their tent was such that they abandoned it for the forest below in the snow slab theory. But yes, any motivation from that night is speculative, including the one where Igor decides to pitch the tent on the slope because he doesn't want to lose progress the next day, or that he wanted the group to challenge themselves.
