Missing Skier on Everest

Sad news. A Norwegian skier named Tomas Olsson has been missing on Mount Everest for a few days now after attempting with his partner to become the first people to descend the north face of Everest on skis. This was a hard-core ballsy effort, and perhaps it is not s surprise that there was an accident, but alas there was. It seems Olsson fell when he and his partner were rapelling down a 50 ft. rock face during the descent. Olsson's anchor snapped and they found his ice axe. Get updates here.
