The Satori Adventures expedition was a combination of several independent teams (1-2 climbers each). Satori Adventures 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:


Liam Slater (Australia)

Left: 26/05/2016
Hired: 1
Term: Abandoned at 8400m due to oxygen issues and fatique.

Slater and Dawa Dendi set out from C3 on 18 May at 11 pm (CST). The weather was good and calm. When they got to 8400m at 3:30 am Slater had problems with his oxygen. He had the feeling that he was quicker without the mask. As it was already late when they reached the high point, he decided to turn back. They descended all the way back to ABC, where they arrived at 4 pm.

Satoshi Tamura (Japan)

Name: Satoshi Tamura Everest 2016
Camps: BC(19/04,5200m),ABC(23/04,6400m),C1(29/04,7000m),C2(19/05,7800m),
C3(20/05,8300m),Smt(21/05)
Left: 26/05/2016
Hired: 1
Term: Success (7:15 am NST)

Tamura and Dawa Dendi set out from C3 on 20 May at 9 pm (NST), summited at 7:15 am, stayed 20 minutes, then descended to C3 at 2 pm.

At the time of the attack from C3 at 8500m, my oxygen mask froze and it was hard to breath. It felt easier without the mask. I was lucky that it was sunny and it was not windy. When I looked at the oxygen bottle, the meter showed 1.5! How could that be? On my way climbing, I had asked my Sherpa to fix it at the maximum 3.5! I must say the climb was done almost without supplemental oxygen.

Oxygen:
Taken and used from 7500m to top to 7200m by Tamura.
Taken and used from 7650m to top to 7500m by Dawa Dendi.

Sherpa:
Dawa Dendi
