What would have been your reaction to having your oxygen turned on all the way and then burned up? Would it have affected your ambitions to reach the top?
In a situation like Jon’s I would have been extremely worried and frustrated. I would not only be worried about my body medically, but also about my ability to reach the top. Although physically I would probably not be able to reach the top, I would still try in any way possible.
I think in Jon’s position I would be very worried about my medical health. Since he had allready been having trouble with the high alltitude, the lack of supporting oxygen will just make it worse. If I were him, I would be too worried about my health and I would return to Camp 4 and get more oxygen then later I would try agian to reach the summit
If my oxygen was turned on full blast and I ran out of oxygen I would be very nervous about climbing on with out oxygen. It would depend on if I had previously climbed Everest with out oxygen. But if I had not previously climbed with out oxygen I would return to camp four where I could get more oxygen. I would not go all the way to base camp though. I would be determined to try to make it to the top the next day. If I had previously climbed Everest with out oxygen I most likely would continue because I have successfully done it before.
