位于加德满都的香格里拉尼泊尔徒步公司(Shangri-La Nepal Trek)为登山队提供支持。公司执行董事吉班·吉米雷(Jiban Ghimire)表示，当关于今年的创痛的记忆退却之时，登山迷们还是会带着同样的热情重返珠峰。
“My experience is that every year something goes wrong,” he said. “But when you cross three months, six months, eight months, people start asking me, ‘Hey Jiban, I want to go back.’”
“我的经验是，每年都会出事，”他说。“不过三个月、六个月或者八个月过后，人们会开始对我说，‘嗨，吉班，我想回去。’”
