Terrible news.
A British climber has been confirmed to be the latest to perish on Mount Everest this week.His partner, Kristyn Carriere, had travelled with him to Everest Case Camp but joined a trekking group while he made the perilous journey to the top.
Robin Haynes Fisher, 44 year old died on his descent after reaching the summit of the world’s highest mountain Advertisement‘He was a ‘tough guy’, triathlete, and marathoner. A champion for vegetarianism, published author, and a cultured theatre-goer, lover of Shakespeare.“Every one who ever met him in any capacity will always remember the positive impact he had on their lives.He is one of at least eight people to have died in the space of a week.
This has led to overcrowding along the narrow path leading to the summit, with some having to wait 12 hours or more to get to the peak. Donald, from Utah, was taking pictures on top of the peak when he collapsed following a 12-hour push from Camp IV.
