Eventually, Anatoli Boukreev and Neal Beidleman assumed the responsibility of the ropes, and it took quite a while to set them.By this time, a storm had been brewing below them.

Ideally, if Boukreev had descended with the team and been carrying supplemental oxygen, he may have been able to assist them in descending much faster, possibly making it to camp before the storm erupted into a fierce rage.Later, Boukreev would state that he descended because he wanted to be fresh and reach camp so he could assist in a rescue if needed in case something happened to the descending climbers. He was patched to his wife, who was heavily pregnant, via satellite phone and said his goodbyes. Mettle and Grit High on Nuptse.
