... that on the 1939 American K2 expedition, Dudley Wolfe and three Sherpas died high on the mountain (K2 pictured) after the Sherpas had climbed from base camp to rescue Wolfe but he would not come down?
Source: "the rest of the team members ... had retreated back to the bottom of the mountain. Wolfe spent a further week high up the mountain on his own before a rescue team of sherpas reached him. He told them he could not start the climb down that day ... Neither Wolfe nor the three sherpas were seen again."[1], or Isserman & Weaver (2008), pp. 220–221[2][3]
ALT1:... on the 1939 American K2 expedition, Dudley Wolfe died high on the mountain (K2 pictured) after his companions went down without him? Source: same as above.
Overall: Looks good to go. I prefer the ALT0 hook, followed closely by the ALT1. The ALT2 hook isn't as captivating. SounderBruce 05:44, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
@SounderBruce: Thank you for taking this on. The article took me months to write and even to review it would have been quite an undertaking. For what it's worth, I agree with your comments about the hooks. Thincat (talk) 10:19, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
