Dutch mountaineer Cas Van De Gevel shows his infected fingers as he speaks to reporters at a local hotel in Islamabad August 7, 2008. Van De Gevel, was ferried to the hospital at Skardu on Monday along with fellow Dutchman Wilco van Rooijen, the leader of one of the ill-fated teams involved in the worst-ever climbing disaster on K2. Eleven climbers from Europe, South Korea and Pakistan died, mostly as a result of an ice fall during their descent after summitting the 8,611 metre (28,240 foot) peak late on Friday.
