      Good point. Seems like the Turkish team tried to save him and everyone else ignored him…

      Also, arguing against my point, I noticed some other teams have spoken out eg

      Said Lukas Furtenbach, owner of Furtenbach Adventures: “We would have stopped our summit push and helped, no matter what it takes. Even if it means we have to give up our oxygen supplies and even if it means no summit for all our clients. This is a fundamental part of the pre-summit push briefing I do with all clients. I always prepare them so that if we come across a situation like that, we help. Period.” Source.

      There have been several incidents on Everest in recent years which have highlighted Sherpas feeling bad about how they are treated, though.
