I believe that they were unsuccessful. They stopped searching for the
camera to help rescue a Russian expedition. I guess it is a zoo on
Everest this year with 94 summiters and counting including a blind
person. Doesn't sound like fun it must be like a cross between bus
station and a garbage dump up there.
