    In part is the tragic story of Annapurna climbers Malaysian Wui Kin Chin, 49, and Nima Tshering Sherpa, 32, has captured global attention.
    Sadly, Dr. Chin passed away in a Singapore hospital on May 2, 2019.
    How Dr. Chin could go from summiting Annapurna at 8091-meter/26,545-feet with 30 other climbers and then being alone for over 40 hours a few hundred meters below the summit is difficult to understand. Dr. Chin was a very physically active man. He had climbed the 7 Summits and another 8000-meter peak, Manaslu. He had run 41 full marathons with the last one in 2014 for the New York Marathon where he completed the 26.2 miles in 4:55:01.
    When Chin became unconscious and stopped moving at 7,500-meters, Nima gave Chin his own oxygen at 5:00 pm and rushed to the next camp to call for help. He stumbled into Camp 4 at 7,100-meters at 12:30 am suffering from frostbite and with a hurt back.
    While there are many heroes in this story, Nima stands out. The 32 year-old Sherpa from Khumjung is married and has three children, aged 3, 9, and 11 plus supports his 70 year-old mother.
    -------------------Did Red Tape Kill a Man on Annapurna?-------------------------
    When Wui Kin Chin collapsed high on the deadliest mountain in the world, he urgently needed a rescue. Instead, he sat alone at 24,000 feet for more than 40 hours.
    Before taking on Annapurna, Wui Kin Chin had climbed all of the seven summits and Manaslu, and run 41 marathons.
    On April 23, 2019, Wui Kin Chin and Nima Tshering Sherpa stood on top of Nepal’s Annapurna, the deadliest 8,000-meter peak in the world.
    It was 4:40 in the afternoon, late in the day for a summit, and the sun was getting low on the horizon. Still, 30 other climbers accompanied the men on top of the 26,545-foot peak, 17 of whom were Sherpas hired by Seven Summits Treks, a Nepal-based guiding outfit.
    The 32 climbers were not part of a unified team under a single leader, which is the usual approach on bigger budget commercial expeditions to popular mountains like Everest. Instead, the climbers had joined a single permit to share the overhead costs and expenses like base-camp cooks and fixed ropes. It’s a common tactic on the less frequently visited 8,000-meter peaks.
    On this trip, Seven Summits treks had done the organizing, paired most of the climbers with a Sherpa, and then-largely-left them to their own devices. Chin had specifically requested that the outfitter hire the 31-year-old Nima to guide him up the mountain based on recommendations he’d gotten from other climbers.
    A bespectacled anesthesiologist from Malaysia, Chin was a careful and meticulous man. Before taking on Annapurna, the 49-year-old had climbed all of the seven summits and 26,759-foot Manaslu, and run 41 marathons. But Chin climbed slowly to the top, and on the way down he began to lag further and further behind the rest of the climbers who’d made the summit. After descending about 2,000 feet, he ran out of supplemental oxygen. He looked lethargic, his steps becoming uneven. Finally he sat down in the snow and told his guide that he couldn’t go on. Nima’s English isn't great, and the two men had difficulty communicating. But it was clear that Chin was in serious trouble. Nima gave his client the rest of his own oxygen, and took off to get help at the next camp, about 1,300 feet below.
    Chin settled in for what he hoped would be a short wait.
    Though Chin had paid Seven Summits Treks to guide him up the mountain, he had also purchased a membership with Global Rescue, a New Hampshire-based company that provides emergency medical evacuations, to get him out of any life threatening situation he might encounter. (Full disclosure: I’m a Global Rescue member.)
    Both companies tell different stories about what happened after Nima staggered into Camp 4, at 23,300 feet, a little after midnight. He had fallen and hurt his back on the descent to the camp and had taken much longer to get to there than he’d hoped. He relayed information about Chin’s condition down to his boss, Dawa Sherpa, at Base Camp.
    Critical information about Chin’s location and who was going to go get him appears to have been either miscommunicated or ignored
    Dawa is one of three brothers who founded Seven Summits Treks and currently serves as the outfit’s director. Dawa says he called Global Rescue, gave them Chin’s GPS coordinates, and asked for helicopter assistance.....

    This expedition is a narrative of crew's bravery.
    Wonderful work on videography and commentary.
    I always searched for videos to get a glimpse of Annapurna's landscapes but hardly found any with such degree of details which also indicates that how difficult it is to summit Annapurna.
    I have a great respect for this mountain and wonder if my life will ever give me a chance to atleast view this savage mountain, "atleast" from its base camp.
    RIP Mr. Chin.

      Looking into this tragedy, it seems that Global Rescue, a company Chen was a member of, refused to:
      1. Pick up victim from 7,500 m, because their insurance policy was valid to 7,000 m
      2. Refuse to drop a handful of O2 tanks at camp below 7,000 m for ground-rescue-crews
      They stated "Dropping off o2 tanks was not one of the service they provided"
      AS350 helicopter chartered by Global Rescue had previously landed on summit of Everest, performing a controlled landing at 9,000 m (albeit with 1 pilot & no cargo).
      As350 was more than capable of picking up the victim from 7,500 m altitude.
      I believe they ended up dropping off some tanks in the end; ground crews reached Chen & brought him to low altitude for heli to pick up, but Chen had spent FORTY HOURS on the mountain by then & died several days later in hospital.

    Incredible documentary with showing us at every level what to expect from Basecamp to summit. It even shows Nimsdai and his climbing team accomplishing one of their 14 peak summit. Nims documentary shows clips of footage of their climb but this shows them in the lead amongst other expedition. Rest in peace Mr. Chin. Now I understand Nims frustration about the expedition insurance refusal to send oxygen on time. The expedition company's could have sent the oxygen and could have given Mr. Chen a fighting chance of survival. I also understand why the documentary cut out the way it did. Nims channel and Mingma David's channel explains and show the rescue effort at Annapurna.

    This was an awesome documentary! It isn't often you get to see things from a 1st person perspective. I will say I got a little confused as to what happened towards the end, but after reading the article linked I think I understand. Kind of a shame the big crescendo of the thing couldn't be understood, but I'm going to assume it would be easier to understand if I knew Chinese. It seems a lot of background chatter was kind of lost in translation. Regardless, it was a beautiful documentary and I would definitely watch it again! So sad what happened to Mr. Chin I hope he's at peace wherever he is.

      @@leraabercrombie2765 I think he fell victim to High Altitude Cerebral Edema and/or apathy, caused by exhaustion, lack of oxygen & low barometric pressure.
      IMO he felt too exhausted near the summit & decided to descend with one Sherpa while the others continued to the summit.
      After descending around 1,500 feet, Chen was too exhausted to continue.
      Sherpa gave Chen his own oxygen & descended to the camp to call for help.
      After spending upwards of 48 HOURS alone on side of the mountain, Chen would be lowered by rescuers & air-lifted away. He would pass away days later in hospital.
      Biggest controversy surrounded Global Rescue (GR), of which Chen was a member.
      GR chartered an AS-350 heli, but refused to rescue Chen. He was stuck at 7,500m, while GR's insurance policy was valid to 7,000m.
      AS-350 had landed on summit of Everest & could've recovered Chen from 7,500m
      The biggest controversy was "GR's" subsequent refusal to drop off 50 lbs. worth of oxygen tanks to the camp, situated lower than 7,000m. This would have allowed ground crews to reach & recover Chen at least 24 hours earlier.
      GR's justification for not helping:
      "Dropping off oxygen tanks is not one of the services we provide".

    Fascinating documentary. I thought worse would happen due to the narrator's buildup at the beginning. Still, utterly remarkable footage and story/translation. His comments about getting addicted to 8000ers is surely spot-on, for many mountaineers have mentioned this same phenomenon. Of course without the sherpas, theirs and many others' expeditions would not be possible here. Correction, I should say that they wouldn't have happened. Of course expeditions would be possible, but without people to fix the ropes for others to follow along, attempts would be much less likely. Indeed, many would never have happened at all, on Annapurna or most of the other big mountains of the Great Ranges.

    Whatever the stats are, somehow Seven Summit Trek seems unreliable, i have come across a lot of stories were SST messed up resulting in loss of life on 8000ers.
    they really need to up their game, maybe take fewer clients or send 2 additional sherpas who goes till camp 4 not to summit but to save lives like in case of Mr.chin. Deep down inside every mountaineer expects Sherpas to save their lives in the moment of need. Mr. Chin left alone for 40 hours is not good enough.

    Nice footage, but white captions on a white background don't work well. And this was just a personal account of a climb. No details on the bloke supposedly being up there in some sort of danger for 40 hours, where there is no explanation of what happened, why he fell or succumbed to his condition, zero facts on the 40 hour "delay" apart from reading the description which if you didn't do gives no context to the footage. For this to live up to its title it ought to have been explained from the start what you would be seeing, why you were seeing it, and a timeline of and account of actions taken (or not), to enable the viewer to make a judgement or form an opinion on the events being shown to them. The very beginning where the editor details cutting and cutting his footage gives a hint at the resulting film being just a collection of images of an expedition, not of a situation that resulted in a persons eventual demise after doing the climb.

    This film is a bit of a mess. 1.The entire first 8 minutes along with narration could be skipped. 2. The narrator implies that he is going to tell a very tragic story. 3. Puja is performed and inauspicious signs are perceived, and once again we are given to believe a terrible tragedy will unfold. 4. Eating, drinking, getting drunk and some climbing and summitting . 5. Suddenly and with no footage of the descent everyone is at base camp and some are crying with no explanation whatsoever. 6. Subtitles way way too fast for us English speakers. 7. You have to do your own research to learn the story of the death of ONE climber on this expedition and the reason for the somber undertones in the beginning . 8. In terms of Annapurna's survival rate, (about 2/3 of climbers who summit survive), the strange way this film begins is odd and unnecessary. The climbers actually beat the odds since normally 1/3rd who summit on this mountain pass away. Yes every death is a tragedy, but the entire tone is this documentary is confusing, haphazard and schizophrenic. 9. Finish the story. Show some of the descent and then the subsequent concern about Mr. Chin, with a written or spoken narrative concerning his demise. This is a fragment of a film, not a finished documentary. Additionally for those who want to know what actually happened to Mr. Chin, go here.
