They found him safe and sound, in Huesca, the mountaineer they had been looking for since Wednesday night in the Isaba area

On Thursday morning they managed to telephone the mountaineer, a 56-year-old Dutchman, who was unable to contact him when he was on the GR-11 route between Isaba and Zuriza and who had been reported missing by the family on Wednesday afternoon.

 

In Huesca they found the Dutch mountaineer who had been looking for him since last night in the Isaba-Zuriza area.

On Thursday morning, they managed to telephone the mountaineer, a 56-year-old man, who was unable to contact him when he was making the GR-11 between Isaba and Zuriza, and who had been reported missing by the family on Wednesday afternoon.

The mountaineer, who was taking the 8th stage of the route, left Belabarz on Wednesday morning and had his last communication with his wife at 3.42 p.m.; he told her that he was ill and that he intended to stop and rest. 

From that moment on, they were unable to contact him again, so the search protocol was activated.

With the establishment of the Advanced Command Post (WFP) at kilometre 3 of the NA-2000, a joint device was launched on Wednesday and direct communication with the mountaineer was established on Thursday morning. It has been confirmed that it was in good condition and that the route was being carried out normally without the need for assistance.  

The Navarre Government Fire Brigade, the Foral Police and several Civil Guard units (Citizen Security Patrol, Mountain Rescue Specialist Group and Judicial Police) have participated in the search. 

Since early morning, the search has also been conducted by air, using helicopters and drones to inspect areas of difficult access.
