HPt 19/05 8480m by Rimac

On 16/05, Rimac saw the Rustem Amirov (Russian who died on Lhotse) about 80m above his camp. He was sitting there attached to the fixed rope. Ang Dawa and another Sherpa were with Rimac in the tent (they were with Alpine Sherpa Guide Treks and had two clients for Everest). At about 8:30 am he went up to the Russian together with the two Sherpas and brought him down. He was very sick. He already had bad frostbite on his fingers and was unable to talk. They pulled him down to a tent at C3. Rimac injected dexamethasone and stayed with him for two hours. He asked people who were going past the tent whether they had any oxygen for him to help the Russian climber, but nobody responded. The Russian died at around 10:45 am.

At 11 am Rimac ascended to C4, where he arrived at 4 pm. He stayed at C4 on 18/05 to rest and left C4 at 11 pm. He was with Danny Gordin from Israel. When Rimac reached 8480m he had too many things in his head and he decided to descend. It was about 10 am. He descended to C2, where he arrived at 5 pm.

Danny Gordin who was also climbing without oxygen turned back at about 8200m as he was too tired.

When he was at C2, he saw Kuriki's fall.

Rimac left BC on 21/05 by heli.

Oxygen: Not taken, not used.
