Rescue on Spantik (7027m)

On 25th July there was an Avalanche accident in the hight of Camp 3 (6100m), 3 Members of an Austrian Expedition where carried down with the Avalanche. Julian Beermann and Michael Wohlleben were luckily sitting in Camp 3 and were emmediately on the accident place. 2 persons, one highaltitude Porter and another Member were partially covered 150m lower covered and we dug them fast out. But the third person, the Expedition leader was still missing. After 10 minutes we found him further 150m lower under a 20m drop were he felt down.
After 2 days we were staying there with him due to bad weather two helicopter were able to land there to rescue us.
More later...

Best regards from Islamabad.
