Swiss climbers reach Horia and Inaki by The Web Team

Horia who has risked his life and health for his friend and climbing partner Inaki, is now safe at Camp 3 together with Swiss climber Simon. Although not being in great condition because of being at high altitude for so long he as managed to get down to C3 alone. Tomorrow Horia and Simon descend to Base Camp. Alexey who is either at C3 or C2 should also reach Base camp.

 

Inaki is sleeping quietly at 7400m. The Swiss climber Ueli is with him, keeping him alive, giving him Dexa and other medical assistance. Inaki's health condition is static although his breathing is becoming ashmatic. Inaki is going to need O2 quickly. Time is vital. He can drink but can not walk neither can he talk. Ueli is awaiting Don and Dennis Urbuko's arrival with O2 and other medical supplies.
