Route Notes	Never went above BC. Trip from KTM too quick; others in his party from Monterosa Trekking also had altitude problems. Jimenez had no food for 5 days, no water for 3 days. An American doctor at BC told him he had cerebral and pulmonary edema. Returned to Kathmandu 4 Sept and on 5 Sept not sure whether or not he would return to BC (depended on what doctor told him in Kathmandu). 9 Sept - trekking agent said he returned to Spain on 8 Sept.
