Lukas Furtenbach added that the delays caused by the avalanche two days ago had forced his team, who were not using supplementary O2, to wait a full day in Camp 4. Sample tissues were washed with deionized water three times and was given time to dry before image acquisition using an OptixCam Summit K2 CCD camera. In the end, they decided not to put other climbers in danger. Following treatment (after 30 days), brain tissue (substantia nigra) were fixed with 100 methanol for 10 min followed by staining with 0.1 crystal violet solution (Merck, Germany) for 10 min.
T he deep snow and rising winds had also created dangerous wind slabs: Yesterday, two more avalanches triggered during the rope fixing, injuring two climbers, including one with a broken arm. The snow was so deep that it was over the heads of the Sherpas. “Mingma Tenzi and Pemba Tshering tried to break the trail from the Bottleneck, but it was almost impossible to advance,” says Imagine Nepal’s Mingma Sherpa. Deep snow and avalanche risk has forced back climbers on K2.
