Without the Sherpas, the other equipment and supplies would have to remain at camp along with all the dining tent and the unused oxygen bottles piled next to it. There was no way Zoe could carry it down to Kathmandu herself, and even if she could what was the point. As she looked out at the wasteland that was base camp, her eyes caught movement and a glaring blue light. For a moment her pulse stopped, could it be that someone else had made it. It was foolish to solo at this point in the season, and she didn't recognize the garb as any of the climbers she had passed on the way down. She threw a hand into the air to wave at the figure. "Hello" Zoe's voice sounded weak on the wind, but the emptiness of the valley ensured it would carry to the strange figure.

The figure starts walking faster. It waves with its larger hand, and zoe sees it is metallic color, most likely a gauntlet.
"Hello?" The figure yells back, starting to nearly sprint.
