Sean James, a 44-year-old British man who lives in Dubai, was at the north side of Everest base camp. He told The Telegraph:
I am a professional climber – I’ve been in the mountains a few times with avalanches, but not one this big.
I am a professional climber – I’ve been in the mountains a few times with avalanches, but not one this big.
We were doing admin at the time when the earthquake started, we just jumped out of our tents. When the earthquake struck - it’s like a boat, you won’t believe it. You feel like you will fall over, it’s rocking and physical, you think they earth might open up and swallow you.
We were climbing from the south. I’ve worked on the mountains on the south side – it’s a lot more popular. It's near the Kumbu icefall – it’s very dangerous. They fall anyway without earthquakes because they melt. They put ladders to cross it. Even if there’s a small quake it’s dangerous.
Everyone on the north side is fine. One of the guys in the south side has said he’s OK – another hasn’t replied. The climbing community is a small world. You know people who are there. We're keen to find out about our sherpas and their families in Kathmandu.
I'm wondering about the roads to get back – the pass is often obstructed by landslides.We had just come down from about 7000 metres, where we had been for seven days. We left sherpas there to fix the camps, and we came down for a break for rest.

I was sitting at my desk when the tremors began – at first it seemed like the rumbling of heavy truck rattling the windows of our home in central Delhi. But then my desk began shaking and I remembered the Kashmir earthquake in 2005 which felt exactly the same.
My youngest son was staying with a friend at his high-rise apartment in Gurgaon, the modern satellite town on the outskirts of Delhi. I called to check he was safe and he, his friend and his family were breathlessly clambering down the stairs from the fifteenth floor – their skyscraper was swaying in the aftershocks and everyone in the block was rushing to evacuate. All returned to their flats some time later, but the fear of earthquakes, especially in the capital’s high rises is very real.
