                    [Summary] => 



After claiming to be the first Filipino to scale Mount Everest, adventure sportsman Dale Abenojar is now beginning to wonder if his lifelong dream was worth it.


His left big toe was amputated yesterday due to gangrene. Abenojar now feels guilty that his 21-year-old Nepali guide, Pasang Dorchi Sherpa, lost all his toes — not nine as initially expected — to gangrene also yesterday.

Abenojar and Pasang are both recuperating at Cardinal Santos Memorial Medical Center in San Juan.
