Route Notes The Asian Trekking Eco-Everest expedition was a combination of several independent teams (1-2 climbers each). Asian Trekking provided transportation, base camp facilities and various levels of high altitude support (oxygen, high-altitude porters, tents, etc) as required and contracted for by each team. The individual accounts for each team are given below: Antonios Sykaris (Greece) Michail Evmorfidis (Greece) Camps: BC(14/04,5350mm),C1(25/04,6100m),C2(26/04,6300m),C3(20/05,7350m), C4(21/05,7920m),Smt(22/05) Left: 25/05/2017 Term: Success. Team left C4 at 10 pm on 21 May. Weather was fine with 15 mph winds. Summited at 10:30 am, stayed 30 minutes, then descended to C4 arriving at 4 pm. Oyxgen: Taken and used by team members from 7000m-7300m. Taken and used by Sherpas from C4.

Ling and Sonam started from C3 at 5 am, reaching their high point just below South Col at 4 pm (~7900m). During their ascent it was quite warm, but the wind picked up in the afternoon. As his mask and regulator were defective, Ling climbed without oxygen. He had been climbing for 11 hours and was exhausted, and they ran out of water. He had also suffered from a chest infection and threw up several times during the expedition and was in a rather weak physical condition. They turned around before South Col and got back to C3 at 11:30 pm. Next day Ling descended to BC. A doctor diagnosed AMS and gave him Diamox.
