We are learning to write about Gill Lee using notes we took while watching a video about him.


3.7.19


On the 22nd of May, Gillian attempted to climb Everest without oxygen. He is an Australian mountaineer and climbed on the north side of the Tibet route.

When he reached 7600m he was constantly coughing and his lips turned blue. A few minutes later his body shut down. So the sherpas took him to his tent and wrapped him in a sleeping bag with hot water bottles and slid him down the side of the mountain.

Then they saw the Chinese rope fixers on the side of the mountain. They gave him some supplies and some ropes. At the bottom they put him on a yak. If it wasn't for the yak he would probably be dead and frozen like an icicle. When they got back to base camp a helicopter took him to Kathmandu Hospital Then his mum came to Nepal to see him she was so mad that she almost turned into King Kong. He could have died and put others lives at risk.

I wonder if he's going to do it again. If he does It will be his 5th attempt.
