But in reality I think it was something more. I feel like he was done having his family provide for him, ““I'm going to have to be real careful not to accept any gifts from them in the future because they will think they have bought my respect””(Krakauer

The greatest heroes in human history, whether real or fictional, are often portrayed as lone-wolves, people who neither require nor want help from others.
