What I read said they did not notice him on the way up. It was snowing and foggy and they had their hoods and goggles on. He was in some kind of a cave and laying on top of the body of a climber who froze in 1996. I think when they did see him at first they thought he was the person who died in 96. Tragic but when you decide to do something as dangerous as mountain climbing you should realize you might not come back. I wish I was in the kind of physical shape where I could even entertain the idea of mountain climbing. Alas, I am not.

I think it’s also essential to have a fallback plan. People need to know you’re in trouble to help you. That means you need to prep some kind of SOS indicator. This guy crawled into a cave like a wounded animal. Nobody figured out he was in trouble until it was too late.
