Miss Oh Eun-Sun crowns all 8000ers, but one alpinist still in difficulty on Annapurna. He is Tolo Calafat.

Juanito, Pauner y Horia están a salvo en el CB. They've been rescued by a copter at C4 (7100 m), it's been the highest altitude's rescue ever

Tolo sherpa is back in base camp. Air Zermatt rescue helicopter has airlifted the climbers that remained in c4.
Sad news about Tolo :cry:

Tolo Calafat ‘Tolito Sherpa’ no volverá a las montañas. He had climbed five 8000ers before

Removed by me.

Nadie and me have been discusing about Juanito's acts today. Probably he should explain why he and Pauner left Tolo and a sherpa far above. I'd like to know what he says about that

I've already listened an interview to Juanito. He's said that Tolo could not have had a brain oedema because he was always conscious of what he said. He just didn't want to follow descending and kept on C4 with their sherpa. That night was snowy and very cold so he probably has died because of it added to a total exhaustion, height (almost 7700 m).. :cry:
