Suzanne Leopoldina Jesus, while performing acclimatization exercises at the Mt. Everest base camp, faced many difficulties. She was subsequently admitted to a hospital in the town of Lukla in the Solukhumbu district.

Suzanne was asked to abort her attempt to scale Mt Everest. It was due to her inability to keep a consistent pace during the base camp acclimatization exercise and her climbing difficulties. However, she did not listen. Instead, she aimed to climb 8,848.86 meters since she had already made the payment.

Analyzing her decrementing health, she was forcefully evacuated by a helicopter at 5,800 meters.
