“What are the specific reasons for this great tragedy, do the Sherpas themselves or other eyewitnesses have to say? For me, the most important thing is to understand why Nasko fell back, he was at about 7,100 meters. Why really?” Ivan Temelkov said. a well-known mountaineer from Sliven, after the loss of Atanas Skatov on his K2 expedition. “In mountaineering.

“What are the specific reasons for this great tragedy, do the Sherpas themselves or other eyewitnesses have to say? For me, the most important thing is to understand why Nasko fell back, he was at about 7,100 meters. Why really?”
Temelkov revealed that when Skatov first climbed Everest, our climber was blackmailed for money by the accompanying Sherpa and doubted anything would have happened now that would cause Skatov to change his intentions of climbing the top.
“I am bitter that, unlike other times, we were unable to meet now before embarking on the K2 expedition, the Great Mountain, as it is called in the local language. I have been there … But I really couldn’t talk him out! he was always alone! I always told him there should be a person with him! The agencies are commercial, they are only interested in income and money. On his first ascent to Everest, for example, he returned without many photos Then he explained that the sherpa had taken photos but was blackmailing him for money to deliver them. When he came back, there were immediate rumors that he had not climbed at all, that he was not vegan … Yuck! I think, now, in K2, what was it that really Did he start to go down, something made him doubt, did a similar situation arise? ”Temelkov asks.
He added that the state should not allow our climbers to go alone to such dangerous places.
We have lost a lot of Bulgarian climbers, a lot of climbers from Sliven in recent years. It can’t go on like this anymore. I believe that the federation, the state must intervene. They cannot let these people go on their own without someone by their side. They cannot be left as beggars to look for money and sponsors ”, said the climber.
“I am grateful that Atanas Skatov is my friend. Nasko has achieved a lot! I live as a free man! He followed his dreams. He died in a dream, in a wonderfully beautiful and sacred place!” Ivan Temelkov added.
