The INSANE Wilco Story | K2 Mountain Climbing TRAGEDY

On August 2, 2008, after reaching the summit without supplemental oxygen, Van Rooijen went missing after an accident on K2. Eleven other climbers died on the mountain. Van Rooijen was lost and missed camp IV in his descent. After two nights he found Sherpa Pemba and teammate Cas van de Gevel in camp 3 on his own . Van Rooijen and his teammate Cas van de Gevel descended under their own power to base camp, where third-degree frostbite symptoms were found on his toes. In the end he had to miss all his toes because of this. Earlier in 1995 he was seriously injured on the K2, when he was hit by stone chips.
