Corrections for ExWeb

zontarEverest 2009

I haven’t looked myself, but a friend recounted a report about me on ExWeb. Here is a corrected version, which ExWeb is welcome to post.

*I used oxygen above C4 and carried 2 bottles from the South Col. I did have problems with my oxygen.

* I did not use Sherpas on summit day, or throughout the climb.

* To the best of my knowledge, nobody other than Walter and Bernice gave me significant material assistance on my descent to the South Col. The events at the South Col are described in the last post. At this time I believe that I descended all the way to the South Col ( and indeed to BC) under my own power. I’ll be happy to correct this when other evidence becomes available. That will happen after I get home.

ExWeb, I hope this clarifies things.
