Huss abandons fourth Everest bid amid exhaustion and danger
Mercy Iowa City doctor Chuck Huss, 56, halted his summit bid due to fierce winds and worsening conditions on Everest. He reached Camp 2 at 21,300 feet and, with his partners, departed the mountain as avalanches and Khumbu Icefall instability raised frostbite and trapping risks. Huss has attempted Everest since 1998 with no success and may shift focus to Vinson or other climbs.
