Here in the extremes we have; it is nice to plan HIGE & we do, but then the conditions change when You get there & You have HOGE on arrival but then next time again the conditions change so much that your so far less than HIGE You gotta drop something off down the valley So basically this is no environment for those lacking in experience & not knowing their machine There are NO twins that will work at these ultra high altitudes & DA's so singles are it....in fact only 1 at super high altitudes the AS350B3 As for plan B go-around options hmmmmm try going into the Western Khumb a dead end valley with 27,000' to 29,000' mountains surrounding You on 3 sides, it's one way in & the same way out with no go-around options & no HIGE landings around 23,000'+ every time done only to save a Life
