원정 개요

The Asian Trekking Eco Everest expedition was a combination of several independent teams (1-4 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.

The Sherpas of the Eco Everest Expedition had been through the Khumbu Icefall several times and had carried 20 loads to C2 before a fatal avalanche of April 18 occurred in the Icefall that killed 16 Sherpas from various teams.

Despite contemplating to continue climbing, Dawa Steven Sherpa (the leader and expedition manager) decided to cancel the expedition on April 24, as it was not possible for him to ensure the safety of his Sherpas and members from agitating/protesting Sherpas.
