Route Notes From Ministry file: Death of Igolkin on 28 April and Ivanovsky on 29 April at about 6000m between C2 and C3. Death certificates issued in Kathmandu state that the reason of death was due to pulmonary edema and cardiac arrest for both climbers. Bodies were brought to Kathmandu by Simrik Helicopter on 30 April. Details of climb: Climbing details not available as members did not want to talk. From Jost Kobusch report: About the Russian accident (Osho Treks): Were 9 people on the mountain, even 10 on the permit. Jost Kobusch met 1 member in Dingboche who was feeling not well and didn't climb. Russians high point at around C3 (about 6400m). On 30 April, Jost Kobusch was going alone from C1 to C2, then met some of the Russian people at the top of the Yellow Tower. At 6:30 am, was an helicopter rescue around 6300m (lower than mushroom ridge, some of them in Grey Tower). 2 people had died from HAPE. Russians decided to go down to their C1 that day (Russian C1 a bit higher than Jost Kobusch C1) at 5700m. All look very exhausted. The Russian told they had 4 nights above 6000m (at C2 for sure and maybe C3). Jost Kobusch believes them to be too slow using very heavy style, 2 people having already altitude effect problems in Thyangboche. On 29 April usual afternoon snowfalls (5 cms of new powder snow) didn't allow helicopter to fly. Jost Kobusch hypothesis: Russian group climbed during the night of the 28th to 29 April from C2 to C3 around Grey Towers, went into bad situation due to altitude sickness on the 29 April, then on the 30 April two dead bodies and others could be picked up from the mountain. He is not sure whether they were going up or down when accident happened, maybe blocked or in between camps.
