All clear on Everest: a route opened through the Icefall to Camp 1

A team of 21 Sherpas has finished equipping, this morning, a route through the Khumbu Icefall to Everest Camp 1 which, according to news from Nepal, avoids exposing expedition members to the serac. In this way, the more than 400 people from all over the world, and a similar number of Sherpas, could begin acclimatization rounds in the coming days, ascending to the high camps as they are set up. The news has been received as a balm by the companies and their clients, after days of tension and nervousness due to the threat of the unstable ice mass, in the middle of high season.

Jonathan Andic called 112 crying: “I need help. My father has fallen”

Jonathan Andic called 112 at noon on December 14, 2024, after the fatal fall of his father, Isak Andic, on the Camí de les Feixades de Montserrat. He spoke with three operators, one from the emergency system, one from the Generalitat Firefighters, and a nurse from the SEM while he was on his way to the location. The three brief communications are reproduced by lawyer Cristóbal Martell in the 27-page appeal filed at three in the afternoon at the Barcelona Court, against the detention order for an alleged homicide crime by the victim’s son. In the three very brief calls, the son of the founder of Mango is heard crying. “I need help. I need help. My father has fallen. Ah, we are in Collbató. Yes, he has fallen.” When the operator asks if he fell or tripped, the businessman’s son responds through tears: “I think he fell off a cliff, please send someone, send an ambulance, send someone, please.”
