SEPANG: Climber Muhammad Illaham Ishak , who had been stranded during a climbing expedition to Mount Denali in Alaska, United States, has revealed that he decided to descend to camp five on the mountain by himself to arrange a private helicopter to help his friends who were trapped due to bad weather on May 28.

"The rangers looked at my hands and feet and said I had High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema and told me to come down immediately and not wait long. Muhammad Illaham, who is also the Malaysian Alpine Tour Club president, said that once he was brought down, he was immediately taken to the hospital and admitted to the emergency ward because he suffered level three frostbite.

"On May 31, the ranger was able to go up but everyone was surprised because apparently Ajoi had left us two days earlier. I was really surprised when I was told by Wisma Putra," he said, adding that he was relieved that another friend, Zainudin, managed to be brought down using a bucket.
