Dispatch 27: It is with great sadness and condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Robert Rackl that we send you this photo of his memorial marker in basecamp. The photo was taken by Kirsti Samson and scanned by Murari Sharma, and resized by Deha Shrestha of Parivar Trekking. Robert fell on 11 October, from approximately 5850 meters, clipped to an old rope while descending. It was a horrible, shocking, and tragic death for all of us in basecamp and on the mountain. He was the leader of Ralf Dujmovits' Amical Expedition. We understand that Robert's body remains at the small lake at the base of the south face, inside a rock cairn. After Robert fell, we replaced the entire rope on the whole route from camp 1 to the summit.
