KUALA LUMPUR: Difficult tasks await members of the search and rescue (SAR) team if hearing-impaired climber Muhammad Hawari Hashim, 33, who was reported missing in the Everest mountain range, falls to the base of Mount Lhotse, says Datuk M. Magendran.
The first Malaysian to set foot on Mount Everest peak said the slopes of Mount Lhotse are very steep and if climbers slip, they would likely fall to the glaciers at the mountain’s base.
He also expressed concern about whether Muhammad Hawari brought enough oxygen supply to descend the dangerous slopes of Mount Lhotse. Yesterday , Muhammad Hawari, who was on the Malaysia Everest 2023 mission, was reported to have gone missing while descending from Camp 4 after conquering the world’s highest peak.
Meanwhile, national climber Datuk Muhamad Muqharabbin Mokhtarrudin said the ministry and the expedition organiser should conduct a thorough investigation because this is the first such incident involving a Malaysian climber since 1997.
