Two Indian climbers have gone missing on Mount Everest, an expedition organizer said Sunday, a day after two deaths from apparent altitude sickness were reported, underscoring the risks on the world’s highest mountain. Paresh Nath and Goutam Ghosh have been missing since Saturday, said Wangchu Sherpa of the Trekking Camp Nepal agency in Kathmandu. They were last seen near the Everest summit. Some 30 climbers have gotten frostbite or become sick near the summit in recent days.
一位搜救队的队长说到在这个周末,两位印第安登山者失踪在珠穆朗玛峰峰,一天后有报道称两名登山者死于高原疾病,来自尼泊尔首都加德满都的远足旅行社经理人Wangchu声称Paresh和Goutam在周六的时候就失踪了,他们最后一次相遇是在珠穆朗玛峰封顶,最近几天有大约30位登山者被冻伤或者患病在靠近封顶的位置。
*Two-thirds of the accidents happen on the way down…If you get euphoric and think ‘I have reached my goal,’ the most dangerous part is still ahead of you.
Dutch climber Eric Arnold, who died on Friday
三分之二的事故发生在下山途中...如果你感觉很愉悦认为自己已经达到了目的,却不知更多的危险在你前头**
荷兰登山者 Eric Arnold, 死于周五
Favorable weather has allowed nearly 400 climbers to reach the summit from Nepal since May 11, but the altitude, weather and harsh terrain can cause problems at any time. The two climbers who died were on the same expedition team and were the first confirmed deaths this year on Everest, during a busy climbing season that follows two years in which the peak was virtually empty due to two fatal avalanches. Arnold, 35, had enough bottled oxygen with him, as well as climbing partners, but he complained of getting weak and died Friday night near South Col before he was able to get to a lower altitude, said Pasang Phurba of the Seven Summits agency. Just hours after Arnold died, Australian climber Maria Strydom also showed signs of altitude sickness and died Saturday afternoon, Phurba said.
从5月11号以来,适宜的天气吸引了大约400位来至尼泊尔的登山者登至山顶,但是海拔,气候和严峻的地形会导致很多问题在任何时候。这两位遇难的登山者来至同一个探险队,并且是今年珠穆朗玛峰的第一死亡事故,在这样一个繁忙的登山季节,事实长山顶确实空空如也,原因是最近的两次致命的雪崩事故。
Arnold,35岁,带有足够的氧气瓶,还是老手,但是他抱怨感到不舒服然后遇难于周五晚上地点是南出口,此前他去过一些低纬度地区,七峰旅行社的Pasang Phurba叙述到。Phurba 说,几个小时以后 Arnold 也遇难了,澳大利亚登山者 Maria Strydom 也出现了高原疾病的症状然后遇难于周六下午。
