Update on search for Tomas
There are efforts being done to get a helicopter flight to the North Face area either from China or Kathmandu. This is the most effective way to quickly search the area and should ideally be supported by a ground party of climbers and Sherpas. I have been in touch with Swedish authorities in Stockholm and China and they are trying to do what they can.
Here follows a message by Viviane Seigneur, Tomas' girlfriend:
I am asking to people on the North side of Everest to consider helping to find Tomas. I'm an alpinist and I know the attraction of the summit, but isn't trying to save someone more noble that to reach the summit? For the moment, I know that a lot of people are high on the mountain, but even just a few people helping would be very valuable. From the North col, people can help by following the "Messner road" and search the area with binoculars, because there is a chance that Tomas' fall was stopped there. If you need more information, or have more information, please contact me via the messages on this blog, or email to team@everytrail.net Thank you, Viviane Seigneur

To Viviane Seigneur
I have been following Tomas and Tormod's climb/ski descent. I wanted you to know that many people are hoping and praying that Tomas is all right. Hopefully, some climbers or sherpas on the north side will offer assistance with the rescue effort. I will put a message out to a large team climbing on the north side that I am in touch with.
Sincerely - MC

Viviane, I wish I was in Everest BC to be able to help by any way. I pray for you that Tomas will be found safe.
