		The British mountaineer Alan Hinkes has been defying these daunting odds for five years: in 2000, during his first attempt on the mountain, he fell through a snow bridge and was lucky only to break his arm; two years ago, a severe chest infection halted his second attempt.
		And he is frank enough to admit that at the time he thought twice about initiating the rescue, which cost Hinkes his chance to summit K2 on that occasion (it took him three attempts before he eventually succeeded in 1995, the same season that his friend Alison Hargreaves and seven others died on K2).
		The issue obviously vexes Hinkes, and is made no simpler, he believes, by the comments of figures such as Joe Simpson, the author of Touching the Void and several other climbing books.
