The bad weather of recent days has complicated the rescue work and increased the concern about the situation of mountaineers. Initially, it was hypothesized that the batteries of the apparatuses to determine the position of Zerain and Galvan were exhausted.

User Josep AƱols has uploaded to Youtube a three-dimensional flight simulation made in the area that Zerain and Galvan are looking for, which helps to see the difficulty of the environment. The final position mark issued by Zerain is seen at the beginning; and it shows what the rescue flight would look like.
