Two Climbers Return Frostbitten After Everest Trek
Frostbitten U S Everest expedition members William Unsoeld and Barry Bishop were flown to Kathmandu after a harrowing descent from Everest. They described frostbite, low oxygen, and a bivouac when they lost camp in darkness. Bishop and Jerstad had reached the summit earlier with Hornbein and Unsoeld and prepared for rescue.
