some start to question whether he's telling the truth.

It's also the fact that he was younger and fitter than many of his companions and supposedly more knowledgeable of the mountains.

And if he really was such a liability to the group, how come he's the only one who made it back?

After his group ran out of food, things got dire.

the oldest went first from hunger and exposure and given the severity of their situation they made the choice not to waste his body a decision they didn't take lightly they needed food needed calories the way they saw it it was their only chance of survival and maybe from death there could be life
