Change language:
Hungarian climber Szilárd Suhajda vanished without a trace on Mount Everest. He left Camp 4 on his own two days ago, and none of the members of the expedition team has seen him ever since.
Missing Hungarian climber
Szilárd Suhajda set off for the 8,848-metre summit of Mount Everest in Nepal at 9 PM local time on Tuesday evening. At the time of publishing our story, the Hungarian climber has been missing for 45 hours. To make matters worse, he’s out there without emergency oxygen or personal Sherpa support, so he has to carry his equipment and cope with the elements entirely alone.
His beacon last showed his position on Wednesday evening. At that time, Suhajda was at the Hillary Staircase at an altitude of 8,795 metres. “Although it’s only 50 metres from the summit, it could take several hours to reach the highest peak,” said László Pintér, head of communications at the Hungarian Mountaineering and Sport Climbing Federation.
An expert told hvg.hu that Suhajda’s fellow climbers may have failed to notice him because his headlamp was broken. On Wednesday, the Hungarian mountaineer was still in contact with his staff at home. He said he was feeling determined and mentioned the great weather conditions.
My daughter was a show-off during a day expedition in Chile’ while in South America doing volunteer work w. Habitat for Humanity. A freind of hers from the city in our province flew down to join her for a short period & was there that day. They were on horseback…but my daughter decided to get off & run ahead of everyone for a short distance. She ended up falling, getting so injured that the entire trip had to turn back. Ruined it for everyone else. Young immature adults make such bad judgements in life, learn from them. What excuse is there for an adult? Self entitled? Spoiled? Delusional?
