== Manglende assistanse til bærer ==

Sammen med andre klatrere har Harila blitt kritisert for manglende assistanse til en pakistansk bærer, under bestigning av K2 i juli 2023. Vedkommende, Mohammad Hassan, falt og ble hengende i et tau. Rundt 50 mennesker passerte han, uten at han fikk hjelp, ifølge andre klatrere, og Hassan omkom. Harila mener hun og andre gjorde hva de kunne for å redde Hassan, uten at det lyktes.<ref>{{Kilde www|url=https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/mountaineer-k2-porter-death-scli-intl/index.html|tittel=Mountaineer denies ignoring dying porter on K2 record-breaking climb|besøksdato=12. august 2023|forfattere=Lianne Kolirin og Chris Stern, CNN|dato=11. august 2023|forlag=CNN|sitat=Steindl and Flämig said they later spoke with witnesses to confirm what had happened and ascertain the victim’s identity. “Through the accounts of three different eyewitnesses, I can report that this man was still alive while about 50 people were walking past him,” Flämig told The Standard. “This is also visible in the drone footage. He is being treated by one person while everyone else is striving towards the summit. “The fact is that there was no organized rescue operation, although there were Sherpas, but also mountain guides on site who could have taken action. No one can claim that they could have made the diagnosis there that the person can no longer be helped.” Though the men did not identify those who passed Hassan, Flämig told The Standard that in addition to Harila, two other climbers were aiming for a record. Steindl added: “What happened there is a disgrace. A living human being is left lying there so that records can be achieved.”}}</ref>
