Appended below is a self-explanatory Facebook Post:<\/p>\n

The heroic attempt by the Polish and Russian mountaineers to climb up fast and reach Elisabeth is not a small feat. Climbing further up may have endangered their lives also, because there are reports of a storm building up on Nanga Parbat.<\/p>\n

No further information is available about Tomasz Mackiewicz, the Polish mountaineer, renowned for surviving in severely harsh conditions, who is stuck at a higher altitude. He was alive, affected by frostbite and snow blindness, and thus unable to move, when Elisabeth started descending.<\/p>\n

The two climbing partners had lost contact with their base camp.<\/p>\n

While Elisabeth seems to be in safe hands now, the fate of\u00a0Tomasz Mackiewicz remains unknown.<\/p>\n

Elisabeth and her rescuers will be flown to Skardu in a chopper arranged by the embassy of Poland, from where she will be shifted to Islamabad.<\/p>\n
