Everest climber Huss ends ascent after risky summit attempt
Veteran mountaineer Huss reports reaching around 27,400 feet on Everest before turning back due to dangerous blue ice slopes and a freezing oxygen mask. He descends to base camp with minor injuries while teammate Sherman Bull completes a harrowing retreat. The expedition aimed to reclaim discarded oxygen bottles and raised funds of about 25 000 dollars per climber.
