HISTORIC IMF INDIAN EVEREST MASSIF EXPEDITION 2021
SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMNTS
The expedition was organized and conducted by the Indian Mountaineering Foundation or IMF, which is the Apex National Body for Mountaineering and Allied activities in India. The expedition was sponsored by the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Govt of India. The expedition and has been path breaking in many ways as follows :-

Mrs Sita Nawang Gombu
Mrs. Sita Nawang Gombu (81) passed away yesterday at Delhi. She was ailing for some time and was living with her daughter Yangdu.
As wife of the legendary Sherpa Nawang Gombu, she welcomed many mountaineers at their home in Darjeeling. She raised a lovely family, each now well settled in their lives. She also worked for the Sherpa community and was a respected member of it. During several celebrations at Darjeeling by the I M F or the Himalayan Club, she was at the forefront with others and mingled with the international guests of the Club.
She is survived by three daughters and a son. Rita Marwah (current V P of the IMF at Delhi) lives in Delhi having worked at senior positions at Air India. The Second daughter Yangdu is married to Motup Chewang Goba (President of the Himalayan Club). Yangdu formed the well-known outdoor agency, Rimo Expeditions, and she actively ran the company. Younger daughter Ongmu and her family are now settled in Singapore. She is a major Corporate honcho and has ran many high-profile companies internationally. The only son Phenjo is settled in Canada. He was a senior Journalist for 25 years and is now advisor to the Government of Canada. Sita would be proud of her family!
Sita didi (Sita- sister as we all called her) led an active and eventful life and will be missed by our family as she knew of course me and Geeta, and also my sons Sonam and Nawang. We will miss her.
Shri S. Bhattacharjee
Shri S. Bhattacharjee(popularly known as Dada), Hony Treasure, IMF and Adviser, National Sport Climbing Committee breathed his last at approximately 2034 hrs on 14 May 2021 in Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital.

IN MEMORIAM MAGAN BISSA
I am deeply saddened by the news of the tragic passing away of Magan Bissa who was my student during his Climbing courses in the HMI and my dear friend .
Every time I met him, since the Everest days in 1984, I could not help remembering the day on my way to the top of Everest, at South Col , when I said to Magan, “Lets go” (to the top), he said, “Leader ka hukum nahi hai”, so he missed going to the summit. However, on our way down after summitting, Magan came up almost below the South Summit with hot lime juice for us. I repeated then , “You should have come with us, it would have been so easy for you are so fit”. I suppose he regretted his decision to stay behind.
Rest in peace Magan. My heartfelf sympathies to his family.
Dorjee Lhatoo
Dear Magan
Shall miss you always.
We were together in Basic and Advance course at HMI..
A born adventurer. You are always going to be in our memories.
Condolences to the family. RIP Magan
Cdr Sudhir Dua
Magan was my Advance Course mate in 1978 @ HMI and we have been close associates in various adventure activities and sport climbing. We have been family friends and we enjoyed the couple's generous hospitality at Bikaner.
A decade ago he successfully fought a life-threatening health condition when everyone at IMF had breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a born adventurer and was a model to everyone with a rare kind of fighting spirit and unlimited zeal for adventure.
It is unfortunate that we are to miss his flamboyant and friendly disposition at IMF for ever.
He lived and died as an adventurer. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace!
M.R.VIJAYARAGHAVAN
Very sad to learn about the tragic death of Magan Bissa. He was a veteran climber and organizer. My heartfelt sympathy for Mrs. Bissa and all in the family. May his Soul rest in eternal peace.
N N VOHRA
I am still trying to look for details of what exactly happened to take life of such an experienced climber. One report in Hindi website says his rope broke while demonstrating a move. Some report say that he fell in a Balloon Accident (but how?). IMF should look into what happened so that our climbing community and members can learn from this event. The American Alpine Club publishes a separate booklet which covers all accidents in the USA and discusses the events dispassionately to learn. This a great learning process. It is high time we too at the IMF do something that will discuss and bring out the details of any accidents.
This will be a true tribute to Magan Bissa and all others who have died on mountain accidents.
Rest in Peace

Steve Long, Chairman of the Training Standards Panel of the UIAA recently trekked the Chadar (Frozen River Trek) on Zanskar in Ladakh. During his trek, he was witness to an accident where two local girls were swept under the Chadar ice. He pulled them out of the river and managed to revive one girl, the other unfortunately died.
Having observed the trekkers and guides during the Chadar trek, Steve has made some recommendations. A synopsis of these recommendations given below may be treated as an IMF advisory.
Consequences of an ice collapse are extremely serious. Quick action needs to be taken in the event of a victim being swept under ice following an ice collapse. It is recommended that:-
Note:- Comments on this advisory may be sent to safety@indmount.org
The IMF Membership Form is available for download. Click on download pdf to download the form.
Background: The Chadar is popular winter trek with the objective of walking over the frozen Zanskar river.
In recent years some areas of the river do not freeze over through the winter resulting in situations where
trekkers have to traverse sections which have not frozen.
Advisory released by the IMF on January 3, 2018 :
1. The Chadar trek is typically rated as an easy or moderate trek recommended for first time trekkers.
Based on the current circumstances where the river is in a semi frozen in some sections the trek must
be rated as difficult or demanding.
2. Treks rated difficult or demanding should be conducted in small groups with safety gear to ensure
that multiple safeguards are in place. Adventure lovers who are signing on to do the Chadar in the
2018 season should understand the trek rating and also ensure that the trek operator is adequately
proficient in managing the risk associated with traversing a river with multiple unstable sections.
