Congratulations on your summit!

Your comment relates to another thread about encountering hikers in trouble. The puking guy could have easily been injured or worse on the rugged terrain. But, he was in the grip of summit fever. It seems that he was mentally rational in spite of his physical distress. There is not much else to do here.
