The dispatch confirms that this was a North route. (Not the familiar "Hillery" South route).

If he wasn't below the yellow band, only God himself could have saved him.

So would a party of 40 ascended via the North route? I can't believe that, frankly.

Thanks for all of the info.

Thanks, yes it was the N, up from Kathmandu. I don't know what any of the trails look like though.

Everything I have seen says he was at 8000 or above. That puts him in the 'Death, Death Zone'...

Not a chance of getting him down.
