Neal KUSHWAHA (IMPENDO Inc.) successfully summited mount Everest on 23 May 2018 at 05:30 (May 22, 2018 19:45 EST). He was the first foreigner and second person to arrive at the summit that day and spent over 35m up there! His good friend Sange SHERPA arrived at the summit before him. He has since completed his journey and returned home with all his fingers, toes, ears, and nose.
Both were very exhausted from the rescue they and two others (John QUILLEN and Ang Dawa SHERPA) performed for Chhering Dorje SHERPA on 20 May 2018. Chhering was struck in the head with a rock that fell from above between Camp 2 and Camp 3 on the Lhotse face.
