| One of the 3 percent |
How the park authorities define “rescue” is unclear, but it means the climbers probably suffered altitude sicknesses and had to be transported down the mountain.

These are interesting numbers. I would guess 35% of the trekkers walk off the mountain because of their own limits and decision. I’d also like to know if the outfitters of the 3% had any clue a client was reaching a “wall” after which only “rescue” is an option. On my own trip, our blood was checked twice a day to see if we were acclimating. It really helped our confidence when we felt rotten. Which happened from time to time.
