Claim: Bill Tilman and Dan Bryant had not acclimatized well at altitude, so Tilman didn't get himself involved in any kinds of expedition afterward.
Evidence: Bill Tilman and Dan Bryant had not acclimatised well at altitude and so were not included in the party – both men agreed this was the right decision, Tilman even to the extent of providing financial support. Tilman then proceeded to show the decision had been wrong by leading a very successful team to reach the summit of the 25,645-foot (7,817 m) Nanda Devi in 1936, at that time the highest mountain to have been climbed.
