The four British, including the minister for veterans, climbed to the top of Everest for less than five days.
The four British were the first climbing historical climbers to conquer Everest with the help of inhalation of Xenon – Inert Gas, which, according to some studies, will help the body better adapt to hypoxia, Reuters and BBC reports.
The expedition lasted only 4 days and 18 hours – it was a record time for climbing without the usual acclimatization.
The team includes the Minister of Veterans of Great Britain Alistair Carnes. Prior to the expedition, the climbs underwent three -month exercises: they trained in hypoxic tents with a reduced oxygen level and inhaled Xenon at a German clinic two weeks before a Nepal trip.
Usually, acclimatization before the world’s highest climax is spent from six to eight weeks. Such a sharp increase without a whole device brings serious concerns to specialists. Although some scientists believe that Xenon can stimulate erythropoetin development – a protein that helps to combat oxygen deficiency – there is still no convincing evidence of its effectiveness or safety in the Highlands.
The International Club of Alpinism has warned that inhalation of Ksenon may be dangerous, and the President of the Nepal Expeditions Association has insisted: climbing without acclimatization opposes the basic rules of mining tourism. He recommends not to recognize the certificates of such climbing.
Instead, expeditioner Lucas Furtenbach says the rapid climbs are more friendly and reducing risks for climbing, as they spend less time in a dangerous environment.
Earlier it was reported that a resident of Worzel, in the Kiev region, conquered Everest.
