Wow that is some feat especially in your condition. Well done! I just had a friend who went up last weekend. Fit able bodied and they found it really tough. You without training and sick, i’m amazed you even attempted it! what an inspiration!

Well done joan!

I’m so sorry to read this, Joan. I am so glad that you’re not making the climb to the summit. It is not an easy one even for a healthy person. I’m hoping that you’re keeping hydrated although I know that everything that goes in, comes out very soon. If you can get some oral rehydration salts or some of those drinks for atheletes like 100plus that would be good. See a doctor soon ok?

Don’t feel bad! I know friends who got sick and never make it up the summit too. Embarking on the journey itself is an accomplishment and you deserve a big pat on the back for sticking it through this far. Get well soon!! Also yeah, if you have travel insurance you could call for evac!

Sorry to hear that Joan! If you get this message in time, you can get a helicopter – it’s not cheap but not that expensive. I think about 200 plus maybe.

Ask the guide.

Oh my gosh! So sorry to hear that you’ve been so sick! I did a climb in Australia several years ago where I was sick too and I just felt completely miserable. So I totally understand what you must have been through! Get well soon! Don’t sweat the climb, you can always go back again.
