Gheorghe (aka George) Dijmarescu Q&A on
the Summit Questions
Let's start with the controversy and then talk about You and
your climb.
Q.) Did Tortladze Gia reach the Summit of
Everest in Spring of 1999 ?
A.) NOT, definitely NOT
Q.) What time did you summit?
A.) May 26, 1999 at 10:45am Nepali time.
Q.) Did you see Gia while you where on the Summit ?
A.) No I did not see Gia while I was on the summit of Mt.
Everest
Q.) What time approx. did you leave the Summit?
A.) I left the summit with Apa Sherpa at approximately
between 12-12:30pm.
Q.) When you were descending from the Summit at what
location and time did you run into Gia ? Was he going up or down?
A.) I met Gia along with other Georgians at the lowest point
on the ridge (from that point climbers descent the wall). The time was approximately
between 2:30-3:00pm. He was sitting down with the other Georgians approximately
between 1-1 1/2 hour. Distance from 8,300m camp (an average climber descending
time).
Q.) What did the other climbers say or whether or not he
reached the Summit ?
A.) There was no claim about the summit from Gia or the
other Georgians [about Gia's summit] , so we basically say: that is OK, next time you will
make it.
