In May Gillian lee, a determined (Australia) mountaineer was trying to achieve his goal by climbing to the top of Mt.Everest.But this Climber didn’t want to use oxygen bottles nor take the easy route and wait in a huge line. So he chose to take the Tibet route on the north side, the much harder route to climb.
At 7600M high, Gill was starting to cough non-stop which caught the Sherpa's attention. They told him to stop and go back to base camp but Gill refused and he just continued to climb. As soon as Gillian's lips turned blue he instantly fainted, so they carried him back to his tent and put him in his sleeping bag while giving him oxygen and hot water bottles. A few hours later they dragged him on a sleeping mat down as far as they could with the help of a group of Chinese rope fixers. When they ran out of snow to pull him on, a group of people with yaks strapped Gill onto one which he described as "an uncomfortable ride". 6 hours later they got back to base camp and waited there until a helicopter arrived to take him to Kathmandu Hospital.
As soon as Gill entered the Hospital his mother Julie Peck was waiting filled with rage, ready to tell him everything he had done wrong. Gill had put others lives in danger and his mum even called him selfish. The BIG question is, will he continue to climb Mt.Everest and fail or has he learned his lesson?
REFLECTION: We had to write about Gillian lee a climber that wanted to climb Everest without oxygen. Please enjoy the quality piece of writing I did about Gill.
