    Entirely subjective which hill is worth dying on: Güllich was the first

    deadly.  Nobody thought he'd live to old age, but nobody imagined he'll

I believe the English idiom about dying on a hill makes reference not to dying 
on a climb, but rather to warfare, where one would die trying to protect high 
ground that has strategic importance in the battle.  A 1.5 meter high hill 
virtually never has strategic importance; hence it's not worth dying on.
