Looks like the weather prevented any chance he had of being evacuated by helicopter and thus getting hospital treatment.

Not sure what to think about those winter expeditions. There are always risks, and it was (and still is) very exciting following the ongoing winter expedtions this year so far. But here they had already to fly out one guy half frozen so conditions where obviously extremely harsh….anyway, very sad. As always thanks for the updates here!
