Who is to be the leader of Krakauer's expedition?

• A. Rob Hall
• B. Scott Fischer
• C. Anatoli Boukreev
• D. Ed Viesturs

Answer: (A)

Rob Hall led Krakauer’s Everest expedition. Krakauer joined Hall’s Adventure Consultants team as a client and journalist, so Hall was the expedition leader responsible for planning the climb, setting the pace, and making key decisions about when to push for the summit or turn back. The other climbers listed are associated with different teams: Scott Fischer led Mountain Madness, Anatoli Boukreev guided for Fischer’s group, and Ed Viesturs was not leading Krakauer’s party. So the leader of Krakauer’s expedition is Rob Hall because he directed the Adventure Consultants team Krakauer joined.
