Rick made the papers.....

So Rick pushed on with his summit attempt while the rest of us all turned back in the adverse conditions. Rick tells us he summited in the wild weather and then on the way down he took a big fall. Stanislav and Kacper remained at Camp 3 waiting for him and when they saw Rick return to the col the following late afternoon they were delighted. They watched Rick descend and then as he came to aa small undulation he went out of sight, and after a while Kacper and Stanislav realised that they could no longer see him. Stanislav pulled on his gear and went searching for Rick and could not find him. It was assumed he either fell into the seracs or got swallowed up by a crevasse. Everyone was so concerned. At  base Camp ( where I was ) there was lots of concern, then a friend, Piotr Pablus who was supporting the Bargel brothers, (Andrej and Bartek) came running from K2 base camp informing me that their drone had seen a body and from its clothes we decided that it was Rick. Immediately I began rescue procedure with the help of many wonderful people at base camp and other climbers  who were making their way up towards camp 3 - the rest is history. It turned out to have a happy ending..... and Rick while suffering from some frozen toes will probably make a full recovery.  He is one lucky fellow!
