Route Notes BC at CBC/IC on 13 April at 5800m C1 at North Col C2 for Negrete on 25 April C3 for Negrete on 17 May. Negrete left alone C3 at 22:30 hours (NST) on May 17, reached summit between 12:30-13:00 hours on May 18th. Stayed on summit for about 10 minutes. Negrete contacted Ang Dawa at C3 at about 18:00 hours and asked for rescue. Ang Dawa immediately left C3. He met the rescue team of Peace Expedition black member at about 200m above the C3, Ang Dawa found Negrete lying between First and Second Step (maybe 8500m). Ang Dawa took off his oxygen mask and put it on to Negrete. Negrete's outer gloves were hooked on to his down jacket and inner gloves were kept inside the jacket. Ang Dawa put on both gloves on Negrete's hands and helped Negrete to drink hot water. Negrete's both hands were frozen and became white. Ang Dawa could not understand what Negrete saying - his words were not clear. At times Negrete ask Ang Dawa to leave him there. Negrete could not walk by himself. Somehow Ang Dawa managed to bring Negrete to the place where a small rock face is near to C3. Exhausted Ang Dawa then asked his younger brother Pechumbi who was at C3 to come and help him. Two Sherpa brothers brought Negrete to their tent at C3 at 01:00 hours of 19th. The two brothers started massaging Negrete's body and hands, helped him to drink warm juice. It was windy. Negrete was kept between the two brothers. At about 02:00 hours Negrete took quick breath for three times and became motionless. Ang Dawa and Pechumbi raised Negrete's head and hands but there was not any movement. Both the Sherpas were shocked to see that happened. Ang Dawa nervously started calling Dawa Sherpa whose tent was opposite of their tent. It was windy and Ang Dawa did come. (Dawa Sherpa - speed traversed from CBC to BC in 20 hours and 15 minutes. He was with Everest Parivars' expedition). Ang Dawa and Pechumbi left C3 at 05:00 hours to ABC where they arrived between 12:00-13:00 hours. Ang Dawa informed Raineri who was at CBC about the death of Negrete. Raineri came to ABC next day around noon time. The body of Negrete was buried little away from C3 on the left side on May 22 with consultation of family of Negrete. Raineri's highest point is 7700m. He had sore throat and went down to CBC for rest. Raineri returned to Kathmandu on May 25 and left on June 03. Sherpas: Ang Dawa Sherpa, 27/4/81 on citizenship certificate, but he says 28/4/82, Tashigaon, Makalu-5, Sankhuwasabha, Everest in 2004 and 2005 with Mrs Lakpa Sherpa Pechumbi Sherpa, youngest brother of Ang Dawa (he is 17 or 18 years old), no summits Email correspondence Paul Firth and Rodrigo Raineri [regarding Vitor Negrete] Sent 29 December 2007, replied July 27, 2009 Raineri: I did climb Mount Everest on May 27th, 2008. In this expedition I did climb to 8000 oxygenless, but used oxygen to the top. In 2005 I slept one night at 7500m and next day I reached 8300 oxygenless, then 30 hours later start to the summit and got very close to it with oxygen (less than 50 vertical meters). In 2006 I slept one night at 7800, then my partner died and I came back home. Firth (lowercase), Raineri (UPPERCASE): [with some spelling correction] We obtained a record of the death of Mr Negrete in this record. In the Database it states he radioed for help during his descent. YES. Sherpa Ang Dawa came up AND VITOR CONTINUED DOWN, found him with bad frostbite and hypothermia YES. He helped him back to his tent YES. They attempted to warm him there but he died about 1 hour (2 HOURS) after getting into the tent. We were wondering if you could provide us with any further details: 1. Do you know why Mr Negrete initially needed help - was he exhausted, did he have cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, or was he already hypothermic, or a combination of these causes? What did he say on the radio? I DIDN'T HEAR THE RADIO. I ONLY KNOW HE CALLED FOR HELP ABOVE THE SECOND STEP, BUT CONTINUED ON HIS WAY DOWN AND MET THE SHERPA BELOW THE FIRST STEP. 2. Was he using oxygen? NO. OXYGENLESS SOLO ASCENT. 3. Was the weather bad at the time - high winds, poor visibility, clouds, or particularly cold weather? HIGH WINDS, CLOUDS AND COLD WEATHER. 4. Why do you think he died - hypothermia, altitude illness or some other cause? TALKING TO SOME DOCTORS, FRIENDS AND ALSO MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS, WE GOT THE CONCLUSION VITOR COULD HAVE HAD A HEART STOP CAUSED BY HEATING AGAIN, RECOVERING FROM HYPOTHERMIA. HE TALKED TO THE SHERPA HIS LUNGS PAIN. MAYBE HE HAD FROSTBITE IN THE LUNGS (THE SHERPAS BELIEVE THIS CAN HAPPEN). 5. Is there any other information you think is relevant to this death. HE HAD SOME BREATH DISEASES WHEN YOUNG, AND USED SOME MEDICINE TO PREVENT THIS (BRONQUITIS?).
