Sorry, just quickly.
Can I come back?
in there, mate.
If I'm going with you on a walk, Miles, and you say push on, I'm not sure it would take me 19 hours to realise you weren't still with me.
Anyway, please continue.
It's a good point.
So a couple of days later, obviously they couldn't find him.
A couple of days later, his employer said, told his wife, sorry, he's dead, told her that she should begin traditional mourning rituals that the Nepalese have, right?
Right, because those conditions, you know, survive in that amount of time.
The next day, six days after he was last seen, workers on foot who were cleaning up around the area where they all stay at the base camp found him crawling across a glacier.
He had survived.
They gave him food, noodles, chocolate, and Sprite.
Oh, that's what I'd want.
And airlifted him to hospital in Kathmandu.
He had frostbite on his fingers, but remained conscious and stable.
What a weapon.
So what had happened to him, he didn't have enough supplemental oxygen, which caused him to become very disorientated because the air was obviously very thin up there.
He only had a few chocolates that he had in his pocket.
Didn't have any Scroggins.
No.
