Accident (fall) by Juergen Handl on the way down from summit to C3, at approx 6600m; rescued by helicopter on 3 April to Kathmandu; Alexander Roeck and climbing Sherpa Pasang Kaji Sherpa went down to base camp where they were evacuated by helicopter on 5 April 2014.

The reason for the accident will remain unclear I guess. The Sherpa and I didn't see it and Handl can't remember. We guess it was just an ordinary accident (stumbling, break of a handle, etc). There was no avalanche or the like and we did not suffer from mountain sickness. I have no exact time, but the accident was at approximately 4:30 or 5 pm.
