On 29 Oct Kaesbauer was on his way up (together with Kieffer and Binder) when Haase met him (on his way down) at 6900m. Haase asked Kaesbauer and others to turn around due to the fact that it was too late as it was 1:15 pm and the wind was picking up. The four of them abseilled down to 6600m. They arrived on bottom of fixed rope and down climbed slope of about 38 degrees. Kaesbauer did not have ice axe and Haase asked him to get his ice axe out of bag. Kaesbauer sat down to do so and started sliding. He slid for about 200m to 6400m. Haase was with him 10 minutes later but Kaesbauer was already dead. Goering who is a doctor, got there at 3 pm and diagnosed possible skull fracture and broken neck. As Haase and team thought it was too dangerous to carry him down they dug him a grave nearby (6400m).
