It was not unexpected that Chris died. Although, it is indeed very disappointing to see that such an inspiring pilgrim did not survive his ¬¬¬inspiring journey. His strong will and his determination to live had saved his life many times such as when kayaking down the Colorado River or when nearly drowning in the Gulf of Mexico (Krakauer 5).

Instead of embarking on a profitable career he choses to rid himself from all positions and money and take of on a journey that leads to perishing in the Alaskan wild.
