Individual aides changed Fisher’s oxygen bottle and offered him water, however couldn’t spare him, Sharma said.

Garrett Madison of the U.S. based Madison Mountaineering organization that supports climbers to Mount Everest said many were not “very much qualified or arranged climbers” and were without the help important to rise and drop securely.

“On the off chance that they were with a solid and experienced group they would have likely been fine, however with insignificant help, when something turns out badly it’s difficult to get back on course,” Madison told Reuters.
