Snyder's goal was to climb Everest without oxygen and medicines (Diamox, etc). But, while climbing to BC headache started; it became severe while climbing to ABC. Gradually pain shifted to middle of his spinal cord and he started losing vision. Dr. Pearsall (another member of the collection) put Snyder on oxygen and she might had given Diamox shot. Next day, April 10, Snyder felt good and he decided to give up climbing as his goal of climbing Everest without oxygen and medicines was already vanished. Descended to CBC with other two trekkers and had no problem. Snyder is feeling better and normal. He think, if he made slow pace for acclimatization that may have been Ok. Snyder said he had sold his house and left job to come to Everest. He will leave Nepal on April 10.
