Asian Trekking
Asian Trekking is the name of commercial adventure company based in Nepal started by Sherpa Ang Tshering.〔(Mirror UK Everest Death Zone: Mountaineers die descending from the summit )〕 Ang Tshering (b. 1953) was one of the first graduates of Sir Edmund Hillary’s school and then went on to found Asian Trekking in 1982.〔(Ang Tshering Sherpa )〕 Asian Trekking is based out of Kathmandu, Nepal.〔(ON TOP OF WORLD: My Everest Adventure By Arjun Vajpai )〕 In 2001, it was recorded that Asian Trekking ran 25 large mountain expeditions per year.〔(Sir Edmund Hillary & the People of Everest By Cynthia Russ Ramsay, Anne B. Keiser - Page 132 )〕 In particular, they are known for supporting treks to Mount Everest.〔 Asian Trekking made international news across the Globe, when in 2006 four of its clients and two of its Sherpas died in a single season.〔〔〔 One of the clients, David Sharp, died near the summit and this event became the center of an international climbing ethics controversy.〔 Ang has explained that climbers can die if they use all their energy getting to the Summit of Mount Everest, only to be too fatigued for the descent.〔
==Overview==
Asian Trekking is known in mountaineering for providing "logistics only" Everest expeditions, which, although cheap, do not offer a lot of extras higher up the mountain.〔(Logistics for climbing Mount Everest from Nepal - My experiences with Asian Trekking and IMG )〕 Logistics only, compared to guided or even non-guided climbs, is typically cheaper and gives climbers more freedom, but along with that is less safe-guards.〔 Asian Trekking sells unguided Everest expeditions for both the north and south side, but they are oriented towards supplying basic supplies and expedition organization such as hiring a local sherpa.〔(The Cost$ of Climbing Everest - 2010 )〕
For example, at the time of his death, David Sharp was found to be in possession of a receipt for $7,490USD, believed to be the whole financial cost with Asian Trekking.〔(Telegraph - Summit Fever )〕 Comparatively, fully guided expeditions are between 30 to one hundred thousand USD plus an additional twenty thousand in other expenses that range from gear to bonuses.〔(Odd Spending -The Economics of Everest By Katherine Tarbox Jan. 23, 2012 )〕
The Washington Times notes that Asian Trekking said Mr. Sharp did not take enough oxygen, and did not take a sherpa helper, and was part of "loose group", not a climbing team all of which put him at higher risk.〔(The Washington Times - Everest climber left to die alone - May 2006 )〕 Asian Trekking services are cheap because they essentially end at base camp (unless they hire a guide).〔 However, Brazilian Vitor Negrete, also climbing with Asian Trekking and possibly teaming with David, died days later despite having a Sherpa helper.〔 In Vitor's case he developed medical problems returning from the summit and died in the arms of his Sherpa assistant.〔〔(Brazilian Vitor Negrete lost on Everest after a no O2 summit )〕
