\nThe rescue mission to reach a badly injured Spanish climber Oscar Perez who got stuck 6,300m up in Latok II has been cancelled.
\n\u00a0
\nPerez suffered fractures to a leg and arm 10 days\u00a0ago while trying to ascend the peak with fellow climber Alvaro Novellon.

\nThe Pe\u00f1a Guara Club says it was forced to tell the rescue team to return to Spain because conditions on the route had become too dangerous to continue the search: the length of time Oscar has been trapped high on the mountain, the difficulty of the route, bad weather making conditions on the route worse, and danger to the rescuers all converge to made it clear that the only choice was to end the operation.

\nThe team at Latok II BC must now walk out as the weather conditions \u00a0has turned too bad \u00a0for helicopters to fly.

\nA special gratitude was expressed by Pe\u00f1a Guara Club to the team operating in Pakistan, especially to Sebasti\u00e1n \u00c1lvaro, the American and Spanish alpinists, and the HAPs, and \u201call those who, during these days, have been working to the limit of their possibilities\u201d.
