I want to thank you for sharing this page and poarirtt. I was traveling through Tibet in may of 1998. and was at base camp on may 22 and 23rd. my group of 5 arrived at base camp early on the morning of the 22 and were told of her summiting but that she was having difficulty breathing. we were in formed that she never made it back to her next camp, that she had collapsed shortly after begining her decent. her husband went on back to get help. as of the afternoon of the 23rd we were told that her husband never returned and that the expidetion assumed the worst. 2 climbers spent the night with her sharing their air tanks. but they were not going to attempt to move her. 2 sherpas made an attempt but she was unable to move herself. in the end they stayed with her until she died. and then returned down. my friends and I returned to rungbok monestary and asked the monks to preform a long life prayer. we sat in the monestary well into the evening. it was all we felt we could do. her death and her husbands has stuck with me these last 14 years. there is not a day that goes by and I don't think about listening to the sherpas explain over the radio that she has stopped breathing and that they are now going to leave her body. I just wanted to share this. she did not die alone. and her presence has been felt. and her loss has been an important part of my life.
