Once again Arunachal Mountaineers showed their skill, determination and capabilities to the World that the also scaled Mt. Everest (29028) feet, the highest mountain peak in the World without the spoon feed from their Sherpas.
Shri Kishon Tekseng from Yingkiong Upper Siang District and Shri Taka Tamut from Jomlo Mongku, Siang District summit the Mt Everest on 24th May at 9 am after gruelling 13 hours nonstop climbed from the last camp IV, south Col the DEATH ZONE without any support staffs i.e. sherpas as unfortunately one of their Sherpa got head injury during the climb at Camp –III due to shooting rocks and gone to unconscious and finally rescued by rescue helicopter, now he had done head surgery at Katmandu in a critical condition.
With the another Sherpa they managed to reached up to camp IV, the last camp. Luck was not favoured the team again, another Sherpa got high altitude sickness (HAS) and unable to proceed with them for the final summit assault. The 99.9 mountaineers took the support of Sherpas to climbed Mt. Everest summit but the two mountaineers were helpless and decided themselves to go at their own to the summit at any cost.
The decision was very risky and challenging one but it comes out fruitful to the poor mountaineers and they created history. They unfurled the Tri colour, Arunachal State Logo and Departmental Logo on the top.
Climbing once and returning safe is considered a BIG achievement. The another exemplary record of team was Shri Kishon Tekseng was not using supplementary oxygen till Camp IV (26000)ft.
