[citation needed], With the end of July approaching and weather forecasts indicating improving weather, several groups had arrived at Camp IV on Thursday, 31 July in preparation to try the summit as soon as weather would permit. It is unclear what happened next. There they found Confortola crawling on his hands and knees. The Norit team included a full climbing member named Pemba Gyalje, a Sherpa mountaineer who years earlier had been a support climber on Mount Everest. Mike Barry, the first Irish person to walk to the South Pole, officially launched the book while others in attendance included Clare O'Leary, Wilco van Rooijen, Cas van de Gevel and Maarten van Eck. Password [10][11], At 8:00 a.m., climbers were finally advancing through the Bottleneck. [24] Wilco van Rooijen is one of only a few people to survive two days above the 8000m "Death Zone". Part of the reason Confortola's version of events were believed early on was because he was first to speak to the media. The two Sherpas radioed Gyalje and van de Gevel to come up for Confortola, so Tsering Bhote and "Big" Pasang Bhote could continue the search for their relative Jumik Bhote and the Koreans. [citation needed]. Op 20 mei 2004 bereikte Van Rooijen via de noordkant zonder gebruik te maken van extra zuurstof de top van de Mount Everest. They had managed to get the Koreans back into at least a comfortable position, though they were still entangled. K2 is part of the Karakoram range, not far from the Himalayas, and is located on the border between the Pakistani Gilgit-Baltistan region, and China's Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang Autonomous Region. [43] K2's summit was not reached again until 23 August 2011, when Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner (Austria), Maxut Zhumayev and Vassiliy Pivtsov (Kazakhstan), and Darek Zaluski (Poland) topped out via the North Pillar. The rescue efforts started in the base camp as a group was sent upwards with ropes to help those still stuck in the Bottleneck. Centraal staat de vraag: hoe kunnen we Nederland verduurzamen, met een centrale rol voor de bouw en vastgoed. Extra 5% off coupon towards your next purchase when you join. There was one other climber still unaccounted for: D’Aubarede's HAP, Meherban Karim. The climbing season at K2 lasts from June to August, but in 2008 adverse weather prevented any groups from summitting during June and July. [5] It is regarded by mountaineers as far more challenging than Everest, and is statistically the second most dangerous mountain in the world in terms of fatality per summit.[6]. He then could have returned to the three men and may have spent another several hours alone helping free the men from the ropes. [44], According to AdventureStats, the last 17 fatalities on K2 have all occurred in, around, or above the Bottleneck, once again proving the deadly nature of K2's upper slopes. M 06 43 37 71 85. Don't move until he's secure. Hieronder een selectie van door Van Rooijen beklommen bergen. Mendy Drabbe. Bekijken Offerte. Wilco van Rooijen (Utrecht, 25 november 1967) is een bergbeklimmer, die in de Nederlandse klimsport vooral bekend is door de ontberingen, die hij in 2008 op de K2 heeft doorstaan. In his initial interview at Milan Airport, he stated that he had freed the Korean climbers. T 023 561 33 29. Wij willen ze hartelijk bedanken voor de goede zorgen voor Bengie en Boots. Ger McDonnell's family established a charity to sponsor the children of four HAPs who died on K2. Wilco van Rooijen podjął szaloną decyzję. This climber was probably D'Aubarede, whom van de Gevel had passed just above the Bottleneck in the dark. His experience as the only person in the collected teams to have previously summited K2,[7] and his unofficial leadership of the HAPs and Sherpas, was sorely missed. He is joined in his analysis by writer Michael Kodas. Gyalje was still trekking out of the mountain range when Confortola was giving his statements and it was days before Gyalje could give his version of events.[23]. Confortola assumed McDonnell had succumbed to high-altitude sickness and was growing delusional, believing he had to climb back up. It could be that this was the event Confortola had witnessed during the bivouac the previous night, while it could also be that this was the second object Tsering Bhote and "Big" Pasang Bhote saw falling off the mountain—there is little direct evidence to clearly confirm either possibility. Some confusion followed and ropes may have been left behind or placed too far down the slope from the Bottleneck. He said Rooijen joined them later. Many of the things he said were later disproved. As a result of the serac's fall, the descent through the Bottleneck became more technical. [1] Nicholas Rice, a climber with the French team who had been delayed, also aborted at this point.[10]. Wilco van Rooijen is one of only a few people to survive two days above the 8000m "Death Zone". [30] Four climbers, including an Italian, were making their own way down the mountain.

By 8:30 p.m., darkness had enveloped K2. Met 4 man bereikte de Norit K2-expeditie de top zonder gebruik te maken van extra zuurstof. Twee jaar eerder had Van Rooijen ook al een poging gedaan (met paraglider om ervanaf te vliegen), maar hij keerde toen op ruim 8000 m vanwege slecht weer om. He would ultimately have to spend a second bivouac out on the mountain, suffering third-degree frostbite to his feet. Expeditieleider, bergbeklimmer, (duurzaam)ondernemer. – Minąłem trzech wspinaczy z innej ekipy. The 2008 K2 disaster occurred on 1 August 2008, when 11 mountaineers from international expeditions died on K2, the second-highest mountain on Earth. Van Rooijen was found using GPS coordinates sent out by his Thuraya satellite phone when he used it to call his brother. ... Dirk van Rooijen. Confortola says he was able to radio Tsering Bhote and "Big" Pasang Bhote, who were on their way up to rescue the men. [citation needed], Meanwhile, team Norit's Cas van de Gevel and the French team's Hugues D’Aubarede had each decided to manoeuvre the Bottleneck in the dark. This forced the climbers to take the rope from the lower portion of the route and use it to prepare the lines above the Bottleneck, causing a dangerous unplanned delay in the climb schedule. Van Rooijen and others, such as McDonnell's partner Annie Starkey, believe this figure was Karim. Van Rooijen disputes Confortola's version of the events. Meanwhile, van Rooijen was making his way down the mountain alone. His vision was deteriorating and he feared he was going snow blind, requiring him to get off the mountain quickly. Later, van Rooijen reached the remaining Korean climbers (Confortola claims one of them was Kyeong-Hyo Park) and their guide Jumik Bhote. Uiteindelijk moest hij hierdoor al zijn tenen missen. They were joined by Spanish solo climber Alberto Zerain, who had come up from Camp III during the night and decided to continue his summit push early, rather than stay at Camp IV. It is unclear why he did not try to stop his slide. [citation needed], Italian semi-soloist Marco Confortola and Norit teammates van Rooijen and Irishman Ger McDonnell bivouacked above the traverse, as they could not find the fixed ropes leading across the traverse. Deze achternamen hebben de karakteristiek, dat de voorouders van bijna al deze families al vóór 1800 in Nederland woonachtig waren. Chunks of ice lay scattered around the route, and the mountaineers above were stranded in darkness in the death zone above 8,000 m (26,000 ft). Sherpa Chhiring Dorje also descended the Bottleneck with "Little" Pasang Lama (who had been stranded without an ice axe) secured to his harness. Algemeen directeur. Failed to sign in! The men were tangled in several ropes and had clearly been hanging there, some upside down and bloodied, through the night, but all alive. Nessa and Skog continued descending without the fixed lines, and managed to reach Camp IV during the night.[15]. He may have also misidentified a body, later thought to be that of another climber, as McDonnell's. At this point, Eric Meyer and Fredrik Sträng of the American group decided to abort the attempt and return to Camp IV,[8] due to both the high probability of reaching the summit late, and the high exposure to ice fall in the crowded Bottleneck. If so, Confortola had indeed identified McDonnell's remains in the avalanche earlier. Van dinsdag 2 tot en met donderdag 4 november wordt Building Holland gehouden. [4] Among the dead were people from France, Ireland, Korea, Nepal, Norway, Pakistan, and Serbia. At the end of July, ten different groups were waiting for good weather, some of them having waited for almost two months. [31] The four were flown to Skardu for treatment. Odłączył się od partnerów i zaczął schodzić samotnie, mimo że nie znał drogi i miał objawy ślepoty śnieżnej. Hij beklom een groot aantal Noordwanden in de Alpen en bergen wereldwijd. Van Rooijen decided to continue descending.[19]. In a later photo, the figure seems to have disappeared, and there is a trail leading down the seracs. What is certain is: only two Koreans were alive to encounter Pasang Bhote before the last serac fall. The description of the climber's red-and-black suit matched McDonnell's, which suggests Confortola was mistaken in identifying the remains in the avalanche as McDonnell's and supports van Rooijen's theory that McDonnell freed the two Koreans and Jumik Bhote, before being killed in a different serac fall. Please check your credentials and try again. Van Rooijen, who had seen Confortola and McDonnell helping the stranded Koreans and their guide from below, thinks McDonnell did not climb back up the mountain, but rather climbed up to the highest anchor supporting the three stranded men to try to transfer the load. Chhiring Dorje Sherpa and "Little" Pasang Lama's intersecting lives were profiled in, Wilco van Rooijen authored a book in Dutch and English, titled, This page was last edited on 27 March 2021, at 12:32. Again, van Rooijen provides photographic evidence: what looks like a climber can be seen above the serac field on the morning of 2 August. The most dangerous section of the climb is the Bottleneck, a steep couloir overhung by seracs from the ice field east of the summit. Byłem jak zwierzę. Van Rooijen was verdwaald en miste in zijn afdaling kamp IV. Na twee nachten in de zone des doods te hebben doorgebracht vond hij op eigen kracht Sherpa Pemba en teamgenoot Cas van de Gevel in kamp 3 terug. He had climbed down a new route to the left of the Česen route, bypassing Camp IV. De tekst is beschikbaar onder de licentie. Op die manier zorgen wij er samen met jou voor dat jouw interieur een uniek en persoonlijk karakter krijgt. Some climbers at Camp IV claimed they could see he was still moving after the fall and sent a group to help recover Mandić. The months preceding the summit push were used for acclimatization and preparing for the camps higher on the mountain, the highest of them, Camp IV, at 7,800–7,900 m (25,600–25,900 ft) above sea level. Both men edge towards the testimony of the only living eyewitness: Marco Confortola. Swede Fredrik Sträng stated he took command of the recovery operation. Confortola claimed that during the bivouac, he heard screams and saw headlights disappear below him after a roaring sound came from the serac field. Hij heeft zonder daarbij extra zuurstof te gebruiken, de Mount Everest beklommen. It swept away the four men. Here, another mystery of the 2008 K2 disaster adds confusion to the sequence of events. Several people later indicated Baig may have been suffering from high altitude sickness, since he had displayed questionable behaviour in abseiling down the Bottleneck. Left alone, Confortola did all he could for Jumik Bhote, giving him his own equipment. D'Aubarede had run out of bottled oxygen hours before, and when van de Gevel had passed him, he had looked tired and insisted van de Gevel descend before him. Overall, much of the truth of the story came down to Rooijen's and Gyalje’s versions of events. Sträng then decided to descend without Mandić's body. They rescued two injured and frostbitten Dutch climbers from the base camp, located approximately 5,000 metres (16,400 ft) above sea level. Talk about selfless! They guided her down safely. [2][3] Some of the specific details remain uncertain, with different plausible scenarios having been given about different climbers' timing and actions, when reported later via survivors' eyewitness accounts or via radio communications of climbers who died (sometimes minutes) later in the course of events on K2 that day. [28][29], The Pakistani military started a rescue operation early on 4 August 2008, using two helicopters. [17] Some tried to descend in the darkness, while others decided to bivouac and wait until morning before descending. The death toll had now risen to 11. He told McDonnell's family that they had all started together and bivouacked together at the same time. Waarop wilt u filteren? In fact, some of the figures assumed to be climbers could very well be rocks, and marks that look like trails are everywhere on the mountain. Binnen een week tijd hebben we onze lieve honden Shih Tzu Bengie van bijna 17 en onze Berner Senne Boots van nog geen 6 in moeten laten slapen. The most experienced HAP, Shaheen Baig, had to go back down with symptoms of high altitude sickness. The book was launched in McDonnell's hometown of Kilcornan, County Limerick, on Friday 30 March with most of the town in attendance. Dren Mandić, from the Serbian team, decided to unclip himself from the fixed rope to attend to his oxygen system and to pass Cecilie Skog of the Norwegian team. Confortola and McDonnell did not follow him immediately. Confortola reached Camp II, the advance base camp. Tsering Bhote, who had climbed more slowly than fellow rescuer "Big" Pasang Bhote, had not yet reached the top of the Bottleneck. On the descent, the Spaniard Alberto Zerain, who had topped out first and alone at 3:00 p.m., managed to pass through the Bottleneck without trouble. Van de Gevel and Gyalje descended from Camp IV to Camp III after they had heard van Rooijen was still somewhere on the mountain. Graham Bowley, in his book No Way Down (2010),[22] is unable to refute the evidence presented by van Rooijen but still deems the photos inconclusive at best. E-mail.

[2] Van Rooijen daalde met zijn teammaat Cas van de Gevel op eigen kracht terug naar het basiskamp alwaar derdegraads bevriezingsverschijnselen aan zijn tenen werden geconstateerd. Wilco den Breejen. In the book Buried in the Sky (2012), Amanda Padoan and Peter Zuckerman examine much more closely the Sherpa and HAP experiences of the 2008 disaster, and present plausible alternative scenarios and explanations of the events, including the possibility that McDonnell and Karim were still alive at the time of the fourth serac fall. When the climbing groups started upward at 3:00 a.m., they found that the HAPs and Sherpas had started planting lines right above Camp IV, where they were not needed, up into the Bottleneck, and then had run out of rope for the traverse just above the Bottleneck. Early in the morning, above the traverse, van Rooijen gave up the search for the fixed ropes and descended alone. As van de Gevel reached the bottom of the Bottleneck, he witnessed a climber falling to his death, a story corroborated by the two Sherpas Chhiring Bhote and "Big" Pasang Bhote, who also had witnessed one or two objects falling from the mountain. Een event waar het draait om trends, nieuwe inzichten en innovaties. You art!. Jan Grisnich. "Big" Pasang Bhote later radioed Gyalje that he had met Jumik Bhote and two members of the Korean expedition just above the Bottleneck—apparently they were freed after all. Another possible explanation of the mystery is an error in "Big" Pasang Bhote's observations about the colour of the suit, meaning the last climber could have been Karim, who was wearing a pure red down suit. [citation needed] The existence of multiple plausible scenarios underscores the uncertainty, even among eyewitnesses, pertaining to the course of events on K2 that day. In regards to the night before, Confortola stated that he and McDonnell saw climbers being swept away, and they decided to bivouac until morning. [12] She was still clipped to the rope and was merely knocked over. Consequently, he survived the avalanche, as did Gyalje and Confortola at the bottom of the Bottleneck. Members of an American team, a French team, a Norwegian team, a Serbian team, a South Korean team along with their Sherpas from Nepal, an international team sponsored by the Dutch company Norit, and the teams' Pakistani high-altitude porters (HAPs) decided to work together on the Friday 1 August ascent. "I can just about imagine how you might pull it off," writes Ed Viesturs in K2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain. The High Altitude Porters (HAPs) and Sherpas started to prepare fixed lines before midnight. Some sources mention only two Koreans and Jumik Bhote, while other reports indicate three remaining Koreans (one near death). Be the first to hear about new artists and receive special promotions. He also radioed that a fourth climber, descending behind the two Koreans and the two Sherpas, had been swept away by a serac fall and was dead. The men had climbed up around midnight without food or oxygen, and found Go Mi-Young stranded somewhere in the Bottleneck, unsure of which route she had to take. At that point, eight people were still above the Bottleneck. As it fell, it cut all the fixed lines and took with it Skog's husband Rolf Bae, who had abandoned the ascent only 100 m (330 ft) below the summit, telling Nessa to look after his wife, as he waited for her. Van Rooijen handed Jumik Bhote his spare pair of gloves but was unable to help them any more. Karim was last seen returning from the summit with D’Aubarede, in the later hours of 1 August. It was later determined that McDonnell had freed them. Filter. These delays, together with the traffic jam in the Bottleneck, resulted in most climbers reaching the summit much later than planned, some as late as 8:00 p.m., well outside the typical time for summitting of 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. All together, 18 people summited that day, though eight (plus one who stopped near the summit) would not survive the lengthy descent. It is unclear whether or not the men were the victims of a second serac fall, an avalanche, or perhaps a regular fall leaving them tangled in the ropes. Confortola, having spent at least three hours with the entangled men, was exhausted and chose to continue down. Deze pagina is voor het laatst bewerkt op 15 mrt 2021 om 22:48. [16] Since the climbers had planned for the fixed lines, they were not carrying additional ropes or fall protection devices, forcing the climbers to "free solo" the descent through the notorious Bottleneck. [1] Hij heeft zonder daarbij extra zuurstof te gebruiken, de Mount Everest beklommen. [citation needed]. Tsering Bhote, from his position at the base of the Bottleneck, has also claimed to have seen a serac fall strike the rescue party as they were descending near the top of the Bottleneck.[21]. Ze zijn gecremeerd op 11 en 17 April door SHCN. In the photos taken by Gyalje, individual climbers cannot be made out. Mandić, however, fell over 100 m (328 feet) down the Bottleneck. Hij bereikte op eigen kracht zowel de geografische Noord- als de Zuidpool. He might even have actually caused one of the serac falls. "[18], Two members of the South Korean expedition, Kim Jae-soo and Go Mi-Young, also managed to navigate the Bottleneck in the dark, although the latter had to be helped by two Sherpas from the Korean B team, Chhiring Bhote and "Big" Pasang Bhote, who were supposed to summit the next morning. Krwawili i zwisali z lin, ale nic nie mogłem zrobić. Wilco van Rooijen was bijna doodgegaan op de K2, het weer was omgeslagen, hij was verdwaald en bivakkeerde drie dagen in zijn eentje boven de 8.000 meter, zonder water en extra zuurstof. Still, if Pasang had come off [i.e., 'fallen'], he probably would have taken Chhiring with him. Do you art? This section would prove especially deadly on this day. Wilco van Rooijen (Utrecht, 25 november 1967) is een bergbeklimmer, die in de Nederlandse klimsport vooral bekend is door de ontberingen, die hij in 2008 op de K2 heeft doorstaan. Wilco van Rooijen sagte nach dem Unglück: „Als wir uns auf den Weg zum Gipfel machten, ging auf einmal alles schief.“ Zwei Mitglieder der Wegbaugruppe, die gegen Mitternacht vorausklettern sollten, um die Fixseile durch die Flaschenhals-Rinne und die folgende Traverse zu montieren, zeigten Anzeichen von Höhenkrankheit und mussten absteigen. He and D’Aubarede must have gotten separated in the dark, as van de Gevel encountered only D’Aubarede above the Bottleneck.

Chris Klinke pushed on for a few more hours before abandoning the ascent,[9] as did Jelle Staleman of the Norit team, who was also suffering frozen feet. Van Rooijen had managed several satellite phone calls that may have helped pinpoint his location. [7] A few independent climbers (a solo Spaniard and an Italian pair) would also push for the summit in the morning.

[14] The Serbian group aborted, wrapped Mandić's body in a flag and fastened him to the mountain, and started to descend. Baig lost his footing and bumped into Sträng, who then urged him to let go of the rope attached to Mandić's harness, before all four climbers would be dragged down. [13], When Sträng reached the body, Serbian climbers Predrag Zagorac and Iso Planić, along with their HAP Mohammed Hussein, had already arrived. According to team Norit's Dutch mountaineer Wilco van Rooijen, panic broke out among the climbers waiting above the Bottleneck. Gyalje descended in the darkness without fixed ropes to reach Camp IV before midnight.
