Just as everyone else in the world Chris McCandless has some positive and negative personality traits. I believe Chris's greatest positive personality traits include:
devoted
giving
adventurous
Being adventurous caused Chris to want to go out into the wild and take this journey. When he made his decision to go into the woods, there was absolutely no way he was going to flake out. He set his mind on the idea and didn't want to give up on it. Chris was devoted to the thought of going into the wild on his own. Before and during his journey Chris gave and cared for many people. I believe Chris has a genuine heart, he just doesn't show it.
Chris's negative personality traits include:
rebellious
irresponisble
reckless
Chris was very reckless and did whatever he wanted even if there were bad consequences. Chris's irresponsibility caused him not to be prepared while he was in the wild. I believe Chris's rebellious spirit caused him death. If he would have listened to everyone and would have done what people told him. He might still be alive.
I think Chris's greatest personality trait that weighed out the rest would be his rebellious trait. I think with this trait, the readers see him as someone who doesn't like authority. Chris wants to be his own person and not someone else.
Part 2:
 Both of them set out on an adventure (135). They were crazy (138). They both had a sence of  unpreparedness; however, Krakauer was more prepared that Chris (139). They both were hard working.  Krakauer went to the most difficult place to climb (135). They both had distant relationships with their fathers and families. (147).
Krakauer did not die on his journey. Krakauer got lonely (138). Also, Chris was umprepared and had lack of supplies.  Krakauer was afraid (140).
