I believe that the stories that Krakauer included about other adventurers hindered Krakauer's storytelling. He is writing with the purpose to praise Christopher McCandless, for his idealism throughout his adventure. I believe that by incorporating these other stories help support the 'naysayers'. He admits that these adventurers were a little off their rocker, yet he claims that Chris is not crazy. I believe that by comparing McCandless to these adventurers kind of indicates that he might not have been all there.

Yeah I definitely see your point. Showing all of these crazy people certainly makes the reader wonder about Chris's sanity as well. However, what he does is point out the craziness of the other people and show why Chris is not like that. It helps a little but I still think it casts a negative light on Chris.
