She rang her agency to fly in another Sherpa, who arrived on 8 May. He carried up some loads, but did not get higher than 7000m. After Phil Crampton and took his Sherpas away, everything seems to fall apart because of the rope fixing. She pulled the plug as she did not think the ropes were fixed high up on the mountain. Oxygen: Taken, but not used.
