As for my summit dreams, they will have to wait There are no guarantees in mountaineering - I made the call at the South Col with respect to the Everest summit, that I was not in a sufficiently fit state to make an attempt, so I did not head off for the summit push. Given the dangers involved, I could not in good conscious make an attempt on the summit and potentially put myself and my Sherpa in peril. The mountain takes a swift toll on people who fail to leave sufficient energy in reserve for the descent. I tried to remain positive and head for the Lhotse summit on 24 May 2023 - the mind was willing but my body was not on the same page unfortunately, so I made a retreat for the safety of camp 2 2/3

Once I returned to camp 2, my health took a dip - I seemed to pick up a chest infection, so the decision was made to get me back to Kathmandu for immediate treatment - not the way I wanted to leave the mountain or my team That being said, very few people get the opportunity to fly in a helicopter over the #Khumbu icefall - this really gives you the incredible scale of the icefall and #Everest Base Camp Thanks to everyone for your brilliant support - I didn’t bring home the bacon, and I am still processing the profound disappointment, but I am proud of our team and I am proud of the decisions I made on the mountain. I came back in (mostly) good health and I still have all of my fingers/toes 3/3
