I mean, I hope it was worth it for him. It certainly isn’t for me. Had he been climbing roped up, he’d still be alive to climb another day. It’s not a moral question, just a risk-benefit analysis.
You could say the same about anyone who’s ever died after leaving the house. Had they stayed inside that day they would’ve lived, ergo they should never leave the house?
Learn how risky driving a car is. Regardless my point is that risk assessment is more than just “someone died doing something, therefore they shouldn’t have done that thing”
