Hungarian mountaineer facing serious health disorder
According to Márton’s climbing partner, Dávid Klein, he is currently resting in Pokhara as they update on his condition. The statement recalled that Márton’s severe pain and other symptoms—vomiting, nausea, dizziness—began in the early hours of October 2nd. Due to poor visibility, his helicopter evacuation and hospital transfer could only be carried out on the morning of October 3rd.
“Marci passed a kidney stone up at base camp, which caused the intense pain, vomiting, and inflammation. Unfortunately, there are still stones inside that need to come out,” Klein explained in the statement, adding that Márton received intravenous fluids and medication during his hospital stay.

Márton himself reflected, “This is the first time I’ve had to be rushed to hospital so suddenly. I know it’s not uncommon, but it’s still frightening to be caught off guard in such an isolated place.”
Now that Dávid knows his companion is safe, he has begun arranging the return journey to base camp, while Márton’s chances of coming back remain uncertain, the statement concluded.
