Good afternoon
We have received advice that both Yannick and Fabien made it off the mountain early this morning and were flown down to Skardu by a military rescue helicoper that had been arranged and was waiting to meet them.
Yannick's condition is OK, the flight medic advised our ground staff that Fabien regained some ability to talk once the helicopter passed under 4000m (near Paiju). We have no further information except that both Yannick and Fabien are now in a clinic in Skardu and Fabien is receiving treatment. We understand he is now out of imminent danger.
We are atempting to get a phone call to the clinic but lines appear to be constantly busy. We will update as soon as possible.
We will post any additional news to the sites as soon as we receive, we expect that to be smetime during the course of today.
