The Failed Plan 

In May 2019  an Australian mountaineer Gillian Lee attempted to climb Everest for the fourth time with no oxygen. He decided to take a trail from the north side called the Tibet route which was much steeper than the Nepal route. 

At an altitude of 7600m, Gill started continuously coughing and blacking out. As his condition got worse the two Sherpas quickly got him back to camp and warmed him up. To get him warm they put some hot water bottles in his sleeping bag then they started to move Gill down the mountain. At around 6000m they ran into a group of Chinese rope fixers who helped the team slide Gill down the manga
. 

When they reached the end of the snow they met up with a yak handler. They strapped Gill onto the yak. It was a six-hour ride back to base camp. He recalls that it was the most backstabbing ride of his life. After he arrived at Base Camp Mr. Lee was put into a helicopter for a twenty-minute ride back to the Kathmandu Hospital. 

Gillian's mum Julia was furious at him, not just because he put his life on the line, but because he also put the two Sherpas lives at risk.
