Nu har Ralf Dujmovits (Gerlindes partner) skrivit information direkt från K2 BC.
Tyvärr bekräftas det att Fredrik omkommit... Mycket tragiskt!

After consultation with the father of our friend and Fredrik for radio interviews with Gerlinde
I would like this report on the accident during the Gipfelaustiegs to K2:
Tonight at 01:30 clock were Fredrik, his friend Trey and Gerlinde together from camp IV on
the shoulder of K2 losgestiegen. Since the weather is bad since about 23:00 clock, was remained
six other climbers in their tents back. Strong winds and poor visibility were the reasons
for the decision. After we Charly Gabl from Innsbruck on the eve for the second
Clear weather had confirmed half of the night, the three were in your Ascending
Decision. At 07:00 the clock Gerlinde announced the beginning of the so-called bottleneck
("Bottleneck"): only they were on the rise and Fredrik continue with little visibility and cold
Wind. Trey was reversed.
An hour later, at about 08:10 clock to Gerlinde reports with horror: Fredrik was past her
overthrown, and they climb immediately to look after him. A short time later, she contacts
over again that they only one of the two skis, Fredrik carried with him, would have found.
Probably was Fredrik in the direction of the large flank orographic right of the rise of
Camp III plunged to the shoulder. In eingechränkten view is nothing more accurate to recognize
been. Later on further radio talks Gerlinde reported that when Fredrik unangeseilten
Present self in the deep snow on a rocky island side of the bottle neck for Standplatzbereitung
wanted to hit a snag and had slipped and are probably no longer
could catch.
Gerlinde rose in a row still poor visibility, very slowly - about around 9:00 clock
she met the now risen from the shoulder Darek Zaluski and Fabrizio Zangrilli.
Both of them at this point my sincere thanks to them for very difficult
Gerlinde ratios had risen against. A short time later all three were back in
Camp IV on the shoulder.
Meanwhile, the Russian Yura Ermachek from the shoulder towards Camp III dismounted and
was able to almost 800 m high slope side view of the ascent route. And, indeed, could
he approximately 400 m horizontally diagonally upwards from Camp III (7200 m) the motionless body of Fredrik
and probably recognize his backpack. The very experienced Yura rose even further and from
convinced that a crossing of the vast flank towards Frederick extreme risks such as
Avalanche danger and icefall connected would be. During a conversation with Frederick's father, at about 16:00
Clock time said that no other hazards or risks increase for others in buying and
Fredrik at this point with regard to his favorite mountain, the Chogolisa and Laila Peak,
to leave.
Gerlinde has reported a few minutes ago (about 18:15 clock) from Camp II. Rockfall, a
Cable break and stand outbreaks were very difficult to descend. You'll wait now until the
evening the cold stones and then descend further into the finished base camp.
We must all say goodbye to an incredibly charming man. Fredrik Ericsson
was here at base camp probably the leistungssärkste climbers and all our very
popular. Like no other, he always has a friendly, good mood spread, was always
optimistic and us with his passion for mountain climbing and skiing the steep face
infected and enthusiastic. Dear Fredrik, You were a fine man and will all of us in
great memories remain. We all sympathize with your parents and your
Relatives and friends,
