The BBC are carrying a report about a climber called Tomaz Humar who’s been trapped on a mountain in Pakistan for several days now. The Pakistani army has now rescued him in a daring high-altitude manoeuvre that involved lifting him off the mountain dangling on the end of a rope. There are some spectacular pictures of him on the end of a rope on Humar’s website. Click on the small pictures on each entry.
[Update – check Tomaz’s website again for incredible video footage of the rescue]
