This shocking story shows a real lack of moral fortitude or at the very least of intelligence. A group of martial artists ascend Mount Snowdon in a very noble fundraising attempt carrying a wheelchair bound guy with them. Having just checked out some photos of Llanberis Pass where they climbed they must have known they had their work cut out for them. Little did they know that when the hike up the path became too tough they'd decide to leave the man in the wheelchair and finish the climb, returning to pick him up some time later. This seems crazy already but there is still more to come! When they came back to pick him and his wheelchair up for the descent they realised they were too tired to take him down and called mountain rescue!
I don't think mountain rescue were that impressed saying that it was "cheeky"and a call-out could have been avoided if the group had decided to turn around altogether rather than ascending to the summit.

I suppose this is why martial arts tries to teach us to put ego and pride aside. These martial artists were clearly unable to do this, putting their own needs and desires before their wheelchair bound buddie.
They also showed an amazing lack of common sense - something terrible could have happened to this guy on his own. There's no point commiting 'noble acts' if it's accompanied by stupidity!
