According to a comprehensive report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the Western Australian Business Daily, at about 7: 00 p.m. on the 22nd, Chinese mountaineers withdrew to Mount Qomolangma 7500 meters above sea level and found an Australian climber in distress. At that time, the climber was not clear in consciousness and was seriously overdrawn. After timely rescue, on the morning of the 24th, the person in distress regained consciousness and was able to move around and left the country safely from Jilong Port. According to the media, this person is an Asian Gillian Lee.
According to the Western Australian Business Daily, the Deputy Secretary General of the Tiibet climbing Association, Bai Ma Chili, the general liaison officer for the climbing season on the northern slope of Mount Everest in 2019, said that the Chinese mountaineering team was the first to carry out the situation at the base camp by the road repairers of the Chinese mountaineering team. The Tiibet Mountain climbing Association immediately organized the rescue work and commissioned the private mountain rescuers of the Holy Mountain Adventure Company to carry out the rescue. Six mountain guides, including a team doctor, carried large amounts of alpine oxygen and supplies to pick them up at 7028 meters above sea level.
The person in distress took a large amount of oxygen inhalation on the way down. After nearly four hours of evacuation, the person in distress was withdrawn to Camp 1 at about 11:00 on the 22nd. It was late, and the rescue operation became more difficult, and it was decided to rest the night at Camp 1, taking into account that the victim had regained consciousness and negotiated with the leader of the victim. On the morning of the 23rd, accompanied by rescue workers, they safely withdrew to the forward camp 6500 meters above sea level.
At this time, the Tiibet mountaineering association moved forward into the camp to send 3 guides, 10 local yak workers and 1 yak to pick up. At about 11:30 on the 23rd, the persons in distress arrived safely at the base camp with their responders. The staff of the Tiibet mountaineering association observed the situation of the people in distress and changed oxygen to ensure that the victims had enough oxygen. At the same time, two staff members and a Sherpa drove the victim to Jilong overnight. At 10:15 on the 24th, the victim regained consciousness and was able to move out safely from the Jilong port.
The man is being treated at a hospital in Nepal, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported. Since the start of the climbing season, the number of death or missing climbers on Mount Everest has hit a record high.
Canadian documentary producer Cecali (Elia Saikaly) said in a Instagram post on Mount Everest last week: "I can't believe what I saw there. Death, corpse, chaos, long line. Bodies were found on the road and in the tents of camp 4. The people I tried to turn them back ended up dead. Someone was dragged down. Someone walked past the body. Everything you see in the sensational headlines is on summit night. "
