seemed like an arrogant yewt. After that, I saw a documentary about a team trying to set up some scientific equipment on the summit of Vinson Massif. They invited Krakauer along on the expedition as a "celebrity" climber to help them get more funding.

The whole time, he acted like a yewt to everyone else, not carrying his own weight and, just like on Everest, once they got to high camp, he ditched everyone else so he could tag the summit alone and make himself look like the stud. He has gone from being one of my favorite authors to someone for whom I have absolutely no respect.
