2th of October, after a night in the camp 2 Alex Abramov and his team finished their acclimatization program and started to go down. In the fisrt steep part they saw a man falling down the steep snow slope. He was stopped in the flat part and it appears that he has broken leg. It was a leader of expedition from Taiwan, he is name is John. It seems that his team was frostbitten after summit climb. Alex with help of Sherpas and team members started a resque work. They has a big difficult during crossing the second steep part (serac) but managed to lower without big delay. Later spanish doctor Augusto met the resque team and made a necessary injection to John.

They managed to reach the camp 1 at 6400 m to the darkness. Then tibetian porters took part in resque and lowered Taiwanian through the «killer slope» to the ABC camp. Late in the evening the team of Alex came to the camp too. Everything finished quite well. The weather is very good and Alex hope to start summit bid in 3-4 days.
