Three Cups of Tea disputed

Could be a simple mistake of north and south.
(He also would have had to cross the glacial river at some point to do it.)
Is there a bridge or a ford up there?

I do think he has misrepresented some very important facts of his own, especially regarding Anatoli Boukrev and Lopsang Sherpa?
Boukrev was awarded the American Alpine Clubs highest honor for heroism, and Krakauer found a way to HOLYWOOD it up and make him the villan. There was No vilian other than greed.

Allegations of misrepresentation also surround his book into the wild.

This isn't just about good intentions, it's about making $5,000,000
.... Mortenson who apparently pocketed very penny from his book after his ghost-writer received his cut.

Perhaps you (and Krakaeur) would like to present us with evidence of this with pictures of Mortensens mansion, sports cars, hookers, and yacht.

Yes, with CAI, most money was used as intended. Only 41% went schools, but that doesn't bother me as most of the rest was used to build an endowment or for public outreach. The amount allegedly misspent is only a fraction of the CAI budget, although it is a significant fraction.

Tax information filed with the Internal Revenue Service for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2009, the most recent available, put the charity’s expenses at $9.7 million. Of that, $3.9 million _ about 41 percent _ was spent on building materials, teacher salaries, scholarships and other expenses related to school building.

A larger amount, $4.6 million, was spent on what was described in the tax documents as ”domestic outreach and education” and ”lectures and guest appearances across the United States.” Mortenson, who is the Central Asia Institute’s executive director and a board member, received $180,747 in compensation that year.

More than $1.5 million of the charity’s expenses went to advertising and marketing Mortenson’s books.

Mr. Morrow is in his corner. He says no one should doubt Mr. Mortenson’s good work.

So... you know that Greg Mortenson has $5,000,000 in his bank account?

An excess benefit transaction is a transaction in which an economic benefit is provided by an applicable tax-exempt organization, directly or indirectly, to or for the use of a disqualified person, and the value of the economic benefit provided by the organization exceeds the value of the consideration received by the organization.

Ah, Mr. Morrow, Greg's EMPLOYEE.

I have no dog in this fight. I don't know anything about GM, and don't much care. Mr. Morrow, on the other hand, is steel to the core. If he says he didn't see anything amiss, then he didn't see anything amiss.

That doesn't mean there weren't things he didn't see, or that GM is a saint. But you should maybe reconsider talking sh#t about people you know nothing about.

Uhhhh....it is NOT his film. It is Greg's film, bought and paid for. He is the filmmaker, who made it for Greg's marketing. Just like a marketing firm that makes an ad for a corporation's marketing, when that corporation starts using it, if it gets picked up by the media and shown, the marketing firm does NOT need to give permission!
So, this STEEL GUY seems to have a bit of an honesty issue, himself.

He should consider what tar baby he chooses to associate himself with.
