hotos. The longest and hardest of all stages. Sadly, my achievement was overshadowed by tragedy on our descent by the reality of the danger of climbing Everest, and mountaineering in general. On our descent between camp 4 and 3, 3 Sherpas we’re lowering by rope a deceased climber where at camp 3 he was hoisted by chopper to lower ground. Only soon after at camp 2, our head Sherpa of 6, Sarki Sherpa, and my personal Sherpa to the summit, passed away whilst escorting one of our members to the rescue helicopter pad at camp 2. We understand he accidentally stepped back into a crevasse and falling 40-50m. Our effort to save him failed after retrieving his body from the crevasse, he died shortly after from massive head and bodily injuries. He was not just my Sherpa, he was my friend, we had plans to go on and climb some of the Himalaya’s most famous peaks. He loved guiding, and will be sadly missed by many family and friends around the world.
🙁 He leaves behind his wife and 2 children.
💔 I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sarki Sherpa, Carlos Santalena, Sumit Joshi, and Himalayan Ascents, for assisting and supporting me on this amazing journey.
