They wrote a lot last May about Manal Rostom, when she became the first Egyptian woman to climb Mount Everest that month. As for last night, Wednesday, it revealed to the media for the first time, it seems, that it found the bodies of two climbers while she was busy ascending to the third summit of the mountain located in the Himalayas, the highest chain in the world, according to what the audience of the program “With You” presented by the media, Mona, listened to. El Shazly, from Wednesday to Friday on CBC, Egypt.
Rustom said that she trained mentally more than physically on climbing the mountain, and she performed meditations, “How difficult times will come upon me and I will endure. I want to tell myself that the world will be dark and there will be air in it (..) I heard that I would see dead people or corpses, and I could not Attested until what I found…” And the rest of the two bodies we hear from them in the last quarter of a video presented by “Al Arabiya.net” from the interview below, in which it is mentioned that the climber must sign a declaration before climbing about what he wants to happen to his body if he dies: Do they return him to his relatives Or stay where he breathed.
Then, 39-year-old Manal Rostom showed a picture of her near the body of one of the dead, and said that he died in 2019 after his oxygen ran out, so he became tired and a state of severe exhaustion caused his death. Then the video ended before she continued to mention more about him, or to narrate something about the other dead person, as the second climber may have spent a different year and for a different reason.
In a list published on the Wikipedia information website, it includes 311 dead Everest climbers, the first of whom was a Nepalese on June 7, 1922, and the last of them was Russian on June 8, we find that those who died in 2019 were 12 climbers of 6 nationalities, most of whom died from fatigue and stress during the descent, Therefore, it was difficult for Al-Arabiya.net to identify who the Egyptian climber took a picture of near his body, even though he appears in the photo in a descending position. He also seems to have recommended that his body be left where he dies, otherwise they would have put it down for burial or cremation.
