French media are now reporting that a helicopter has spotted Jean-Christophe Lafaille's tent above 7,000 meters on Makalu, with no signs of life. It seems likely that he died somewhere between there and the summit. A very sad day indeed.

Book Sale
Sadly, my book is now out of print. I have a few brand-new copies that I will sign and send for $50, including postage. (They're currently over $100 on Amazon.) Click on "my complete profile" above for contact info. I hope to find a new publisher to bring out a second edition, but this could be it.
