We were tied on a rope and carrying gas to camp when there was a sudden hrrrr sound, said Ang Kami Sherpa, 25, one of at least three survivors flown by helicopter to Kathmandu. We knew it was an avalanche but we couldnt run away or do anything. There was a big chunk of snow that fell over us and swept us away. It looked like clouds, all white, he said in a hospital intensive care unit where he was being treated for a blood clot on his leg and facial injuries. Climbers declared a four-day halt to efforts to scale the 8,848-metre (29,029-ft) summit and, while some decided to abandon their mission, others said they would go ahead after talking to their guides. All of the victims were sherpa mountain guides. Everyone is shaken here at Base Camp，some climbers are packing up and calling it quits, they want nothing to do with this, Tim Rippel of Peak Freaks Expeditions wrote in a blog.
