 More Deaths on Everest | ||||||
| ||||||
| Three Korean climbers have died on Everest. One descending from the Summit of Everest from the North side. Another attached to the ropes, probably searching for his friends, and a third also in the rescue operation. A Japanese woman has also died descending from the North side of Everest. Shoto Ota was with the Adventure Guides QOMOLANGMA EXPEDITION 2004. After the summit she lost consciousness coming down and died. She was 63. A Bulgarian climber is now missing on the North side. The climber was last seen some 50 meters beneath the peak while descending on Thursday. He had radio problems, so hopefully just a radio problem. On the South side of Everest, a small team of Gustavo Lisi (Argentina) and Nils Antezana (Bolivia) attempted the Summit with 2 Sherpas. Some of the members summited, but Dr. Nils Antezana got into trouble on the way down. The guide returned from the Summit but then needed to be helped down by the Pemb Sherpa from the Irish expedition. The 2 Sherpas returned late from the Summit, but are safe in camp 4. Dr. Nils Antezana is still believed to be up on Everest. His family asks for a plea of help from whoever can. "THERE MUST BE A SEARCH PARTY SENT OUT FOR HIM!!!!" We ask you to join us in prayer for these families in this time of need.
