Once again, Dhaulagiri shows its cruelest side to Spanish climbers. Rafael Guillén, member in Himalaya Maestrat expedition, died on the mountain last weekend.
While details are still sketchy, it seems Rafael fell to his death while helping down team mate Jesús Morales. Rafael had turned around during the team's summit bid on May 1, while Jesus pushed on and eventually summited together with an Argentinean climber. On descent, Jesús showed symptoms of frostbite/hypothermia, so Rafael ran to meet him and help him down, while sending an SOS call to another team mate, David Ferrer, who was at a lower camp after having renounced to attempt the summit.
David climbed up, only to find Rafael's body - who apparently had slipped down a slope. There are no details on the Argentinean climber's whereabouts, neither has his name been made official

He's climbed without oxygen. Anyone know if he is the oldest on a 8000er without it
