Oxygen thieves on Mt Everest

Mail Online
Thieves have thwarted a climber's attempt to become the first European and youngest ever to climb Mount Everest from two sides consecutively, by stealing his bottles of oxygen.
British climber Rupert Jones-Warner and two Sherpas accompanying him up the North Col of Mount Everest found bags torn open in his storage tent, and six bottles of vital oxygen missing.
The gutting discovery was a double-blow for adventurer Jones-Warner, as a similar attempt in April 2015 came to an abrupt halt when, six weeks into his expedition, the Nepalese earthquake struck, and he was" incredibly lucky to come out of it alive". Writing about that initial failed attempt on his gofundme page, he explained: "Unfortunately, considering the devastating effects the earthquake had on Everest, and of course Nepal, it wasn't possible to continue with the expedition."
However, despite his 2015 project's failure, he got back on track with his original plan - and setting the record - from April this year.
The Chichester man, 27, was hoping to become the first Briton to climb Mount Everest twice, by trying to climb both the Nepalese and Tibetan sides of the mountain.
Jones-Warner embarked on a 70-day expedition, a massive physical and mental challenge, and on May 17 he described how he "stood on the top of the world" after successfully scaling the summit for the first time.
Several days later he determinedly set off for Tibet and his second summit attempt.
But, his second expedition was dealt a crushing blow. On his Facebook page he said that "unfortunately" he was forced to "abandon my second summit attempt due to missing oxygen".
"On the 23rd May 1 was heading
up mountain and less than 24 hrs before summiting (which would have been two in a week) I found the oxygen that was supposed to be left at one of the camps was missing.
" I cannot say at this point whether it was stolen or I was let down by the operator."
Jones-Warner went on: "Because the weather window was closing in and we were limited for time, we were unable to go back for a second attempt. As a result we were forced to abandon.
"Everything up to that point was running incredibly smoothly. I was paired with two awesome Sherpas. We even had special access to the mountain, when it had been closed to others.
"I hate to say it, but unfortunately the attempt has been thwarted in a way that was out of my control."
In an interview with The Times upon returning home, Jones-Warner said it felt "devastating to fall at the last hurdle". There has been a string of thefts on Everest this climbing season.
Close to 50 oxygen bottles have been stolen, the majority of which were taken in the aptly-named "Death Zone", above 8,000 metres -putting mountaineers' lives at risk.
