Carlos Soria was tackling his fourteenth attempt to crown the Dhaulagiri, one of the two summits that are missing to be the oldest mountaineer in the world. Soria "has reported a problem in the legs at 7,400 meters while climbing to the summit," Mingma Sherpa, director of Seven Summit Treks, told Efe.
A helicopter is being mobilized to rescue him, he said. The problem is that one of his Sherpas accidentally fell on his leg, "causing an injury to his tibia"
