Just heard from the summit party:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
Sarah: \u201cBack in camp 3. We all turned around due to slab avalanche danger at 24,200′. Also fixed lines were swept away by previous avalanche. Of course\u00a0it was the right call, but I’m devastated. Going to sleep, heading back to base camp tomorrow.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
And it’s also over on Gasherbrum I<\/strong> from Marco Confortola<\/a> home team:<\/div>\n
\n
Marco is rapidly descending to the CB and updates will follow. We are receiving so many messages about Mario and Marco in his phone call at 4 local time just said \u201cI give up\u201c I don’t have good feelings. These are personal choices dictated by instinct. Mario was under him and it is not taken for granted that he made other decisions. We wish him the best.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
