Everest Simulation Decision Set 6

The assignment content describes a simulation of a climb up Mount Everest, where a team of five members (Team Leader, Physician, Environmentalist, Photographer, and Marathoner) are making decisions to reach the summit while dealing with challenges such as weather conditions, health issues, and limited medical supplies. The team has made several decisions so far, including taking oxygen canisters, deciding whether to rest or move on, and using medical supplies to treat health issues. In this final simulation, the team is faced with a critical decision: whether to prioritize reaching the summit or ensuring the health of their teammate, Marathoner, who is critically ill.

Level of reporting in the
simulation log
The simulation log was incomplete
and did not report all decisions
made.
The simulation log reported
decisions but provided no or
minimal information about factors
and processes.
The simulation log reported the
decision as well as relevant
information about the factors and
processes involved in the decision
for most rounds/days.
The simulation log reported the
decision as well as detailed

EVEREST SIMULATION: DECISION SET 2 (ie the second set of decisions your team makes)
 Every members chose their preferred roles as well as shared the details of their profiles and goals respectively
 Physician made sure everyone was healthy and medical treatment and supplies were not needed
 Environmentalist forecasted the weather would be 200F – too high (actual weather is 430F) as she didn’t notice that she could actually get
to know tomorrow’s actual weather in the weather analyse
 We decided to climb up as a team in order to achieve our team goals – reaching the summit in the end of the simulation
 Physician and environmentalist were being forced to stay at base camp as they accidentally pressed on the resting button
 This accident made the team splitting into two groups – physician and marathoner stayed at base camp while team leader,
environmentalist and photographer proceeded to camp 1

 Environmentalist who suffered for weak health decided to stay in order to meet up with physician to get medical supplier
 Physician climbed up to camp 1 in order to be at the same position as environmentalist so that she could supply medical treatment to
environmentalist
 Photographer chose to stay to achieve her individual goal of spending two days at camp 1
 Team leader opted to rest at camp 1 even though he didn’t have any health issue because he want to keep the whole team together
 Marathoner climbed up to camp 1 in order to meet the team
 Hiking speed of environmentalist and physician decreased while hiking speed of team leader, photographer and marathoner increased
 Forecast weather between 100F – 200F (50F lower than actual weather) was a optimal temperature for hiking up

EVEREST SIMULATION: DECISION SET 4 (i.e. the fourth set of decisions your team makes)
STARTING POSITION (Which camp?) DECISIONS (If a player has been rescued, put a line through that player)
 Environmentalist’s health went critical and started coughing and wheezing
 Physician tentatively thought of giving the only inhaler to environmentalist but she had to change her mind as she realised that
marathoner had asthma background and might need the inhaler in the future
 After discussing among the team and searching for related information, we concluded that the gamma bag was the best option for
environmentalist as his symptoms match that of high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and he had a history of acute mountain sickness
 Photographer successfully achieve her individual goal after staying two days at camp 1
 We decided to climb up again as a team due to the great forecast weather, the increasing hiking speed and the strong health of everyone
except for environmentalist
 All of us were aiming towards the team goal of reaching the summit as the probability of success was high

 Marathoner required a gamma bag as her health became weak and she had an asthma background
 The only one gamma bag had been used by environmentalist in simulation 3 so physician could only gave marathoner a blood
pressure even though it might not help with her health condition
 Photographer stayed at camp 4 to take more photos as it wasn’t possible for her to reach the summit in the limited 18 hours due to
her low hiking speed
 Environmentalist went up to camp 4 to meet up with photographer
 Team leader, physician and marathoner proceeded to the summit even though marathoner is critical in health because it was the
final simulation and we should just push all the way up to the summit
