Foreigners put off Everest expedition

KATHMANDU, Nepal-Two foreign leaders of the Mt Everest Expeditions on Sunday have reportedly put off climbing to mourn the deaths of their support staff.

“We have decided to abandon climbing as our team lost five support staff in the avalanche,” the himalayantimes daily quoted Eric as saying. They said that they would return home in a week and will probably try to scale the peak next year requesting to take care of mountain. According to Damian, who rescued three injured Sherpas from the avalanche site, others packed their bags due to fear of violence, safety concerns and tension. Both the leaders demanded that the government of Nepal must respect Sherpa’s bravery and support them pointing out the necessity to boost up the capacity of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, which is tasked with fixing ropes and ladders in the dangerous route up to Camp 2.
