[r.w]

[Rosbif]

He needs a 'touching the void' style miracle! Lets hope he gets it.

 

[ski_cartel]

man thats intense, hope he makes it

 

[*rkp*]

or whats left of him..... :S

 

[skiierman]

Wow, that is intense stuff... I really hope he turns out ok.

 

[CooksCorner]

I am not trying to sound like a dick but you guys are dreaming, this man is gone. Everest is to powerful and to cold to offer forgiveness.

that sux

 

[jns^]

^^ yeah i think he's gone to, but i hope they will find his body for his family! luckily there are two more swedes(who succesfully skied the north face of everest the same day) there to help his friends with the search.

 

[timmi]

that is horrable news.

 

[CKpolicy]

that would be fucking terrifying.

 

[4frntSkier]

that sucks

i wanna ski everest

mountaineering is inherently dangerous. Skiing the Norton Couloir is inherently suicide. And it sounds like their summit assault didn't go very well in the first place.

 

[jns^]

unless you havent heard already, they found him dead about 2000 metres down. The believe he died from the damage he got during the fall. R.I.P Tomas

 

[skiinscotland]

i thinks its 80& of mountainering accidents happen on the decent

so many serious accedents happenign at the moment. I mean D spong he was looked so promising befo he got cut down and like Cr. Is getting so intense at pro level now that its a bit scary, makes great ski films and bad ass accedents. I mean like wilson was given a whole segment in yearbook for his crash. I mean for the time that was so bad. But nowerdays the crashes are so bad.

Manditory gaps look sweet but they are so dangerous. And the bigger we go the more people get hurt.

But its always sad to see another one go

 

[AKoblitz]

wow

 

[JoakimHayland]

They have found his body at 6700 meters, he fell at 8500 meters, they think that he died on the fall

This year is no good for our sport..

Rest in peace Tomas Olsson.
