Trent Thorne

Once I returned to camp 2, my health took a dip - I seemed to pick up a chest infection, so the decision was made to get me back to Kathmandu for immediate treatment - not the way I wanted to leave the mountain or my team That being said, very few people get the opportunity to fly in a helicopter over the #Khumbu icefall - this really gives you the incredible scale of the icefall and #Everest Base Camp Thanks to everyone for your brilliant support - I didn’t bring home the bacon, and I am still processing the profound disappointment, but I am proud of our team and I am proud of the decisions I made on the mountain. I came back in (mostly) good health and I still have all of my fingers/toes 3/3

Just had a rabbit in the headlights moments when someone asked casually what podcasts I’d been listening to. I froze - too embarrassed to say that it was one published today on which I was a guest. He joked that he didn’t really need details and to tell me his favourites.

@GulfHorizons1 All good - have enjoyed time away from twitter

@agintegrity Good to have you back! How you doing?

I caught up with @Olilelievre from the @humans_of_ag team to discuss my recent attempt to summit Mt Everest and Lhotse ‘Trent has returned from his attempt to reach the summit of Mt #Everest. Host, Oli Le Lievre sits down with him to reflect on his incredible journey and the raw decision to turn-back, only ~8hr from the top.’ 'Below is an excerpt from Trent after he decided to listen to his body: "But it still immediately stung for the obvious reasons…  Because I knew that my one shot was gone.  We talked about it being one and done. And that's still my intention. I have no plans to ever go back.”' humansofagriculture.com/stories/trent-…

@camsport176 Not quite - altitude sickness - no altitude issues really, for some reason my calves decided that they would not play ball once I reached the South Col - beyond frustrating

I had missed your updates re the icy heights but saw and read a few just now. Glad you are safe. Altitude sickness I guess. Always another time. Congrats anyway.

@camsport176 In what regard?

What’s happening @agintegrity

@mattyhoran Great to be back home

@agintegrity And...welcome back!

@AlHunterRural @EverestToday I believe that this is an old photo - there is rubbish up there (old tents, etc) but it was nowhere near as bad as this. They are regularly sending up teams to clean up camp 4

@EverestToday @agintegrity Trent, did you witness this? Unbelievable. 🙁

Disheartening to see the accumulation of garbage at Camp IV on Mt #Everest (8848.86 m). It's high time we address this issue with urgency and commitment. Let's demand stricter regulations, enforcement of clean climbing practices, and effective waste management strategies. Video ©: Tenzi Sherpa.

@BrendEgan Thanks Mr Egan!

@agintegrity Thanks Trent you have taken us all up that amazing mountain over recent weeks and know you’re disappointed but you made the right call. As in life sometimes it’s about the journey not the destination. And wow you’ve had an incredible journey. Look forward to catching up.

@richardrains1 Thanks Richard - things happen for a reason - I just wish I had a bit more clarity on what was going on with my legs when I got to the Col. It was quite the journey though …

@agintegrity Trent, another chapter in the journey of life. If everything we tried, we achieved, the wins wouldn't be nearly as much fun. CONGRATS on what you have achieved so far & being brave enough to make the sensible decisions.

@AprilCavanagh @ToowoombaGS Thanks April - happy to assist you in whatever capacity you see fit

@agintegrity Amazing Trent. Possibly took more courage to make the call to pull up than continue on. Get better soon. The photos are unbelievable. What an experience. The boys would love to hear all about it at @ToowoombaGS too!!

As for my summit dreams, they will have to wait There are no guarantees in mountaineering - I made the call at the South Col with respect to the Everest summit, that I was not in a sufficiently fit state to make an attempt, so I did not head off for the summit push. Given the dangers involved, I could not in good conscious make an attempt on the summit and potentially put myself and my Sherpa in peril. The mountain takes a swift toll on people who fail to leave sufficient energy in reserve for the descent. I tried to remain positive and head for the Lhotse summit on 24 May 2023 - the mind was willing but my body was not on the same page unfortunately, so I made a retreat for the safety of camp 2 2/3

@AprilCavanagh Not that I could see - stealthy CHAROLAIS maybe …

@agintegrity Holy! No fat cattle on those icy peaks
