Not only because I have got much information by him exclusively but also because many of my blog users from Europe have been interested especially in his attempt.

The only comment would be: why this title ?
Because not only “Dujmovits turns back on Everest at 8,500 m”, but also many others…

You are probably right in commenting like “What a pity !” about Ralf lastest attempt, but for evreybody failng on Everest without O2, it’s a big (a huge) disappointment….

For Ralf, it was his eighth attempts (without O2).
So yes, it is very disappointing…

But he is alive ! The most important !

Thinking about the futile quest of 14x8000m (without O2), we can now remember the couples Nives Meroi + Romano Benet (success in 2017 !), and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner + Ralf Dujmovits (fail again in 2017)…

I’m not sure if we have to remenber this bad luck for Ralf on his eighth attempt on Everest…
This is sad, bad luck, bad weather conditions, small windows…

But he is still alive ! (so many have died taking less risks ! So many…)

So maybe your title for your article could be: ” Dujmovits still alive !”, and safe in lower camps…

I don’t know…
To be commented and criticized…
This night, only 2/7 without Ox have summited…
This is hard…
