Report from the SEREIM rescue services today say that the englishman, Sean Moore, made it to the Caldera but abandoned Mulhacen west flank due to transparent ice. He spent Sunday night in the Caldera. On his return on Monday morning he met high winds at the Cariguela that prevented him from going back to Pradollano. He returned to the crossover point on the Crestones de Rio Seco and headed north steeply down into the Valdeinfiernos valley. It is here lower down that he slipped on ice and fell some 50m, fracturing his left kneecap. Throughout that night he walked, using poles for assistance. He made it down to Cueva Secreta and along the considerable length of the Verada Estrella back to the Bar Chiquito and the trailhead. An amazing feat of survival in poor and difficult mountain conditions! Update Wednesday am.

Good news. The guy has been located. He suffered a broken leg but managed to make a remarkable journey down the Barranco de San Juan to a bar near Guejar Sierra area. Should be a good tale to tell in years to come? Thanks to the combined rescue services for their efforts over the past few days too! Good to know they are out there and willing to put there own lives on the line. Update. 18:30 Tuesday 5th. Good news. The guy has been located.
