Seema Goshwami, who has developed frostbite to her hands and feet at the South Col camp, was unable to move.
Several Sherpa guides carried Goshwami from the highest camp at nearly 8,000 meters to camp two which is located at 6,400 meters. There were attempts to airlift her as her condition was stable.
Nearly 400 climbers have summitted the 8,850-metre high peak since May 11.
Some 35-40 climbers suffered frostbite in camp 3 and 4 while attempting to reach the summit or on their descent,said Gyanendra Shrestha, an official of the Mountaineering Department of Nepal’s Tourism Ministry.
In the past two days, a Dutch and an Australian mountaineer have died of altitude sickness after scaling Mount Everest, days after an Indian climber lost his life after falling sick while descending Nepal’s Dhaulagiri peak. Frost bite occurs due to human negligence in the mountain.
