Did you see "the beckoning silence" on ch4 last night?!

Question: I missed the last 20 minutes. I think I got to day 4 - he was pulling up a couple of ropes from the guides 150 feet below.

Can anyone tell me the name of the mountaineer that was stuck (so I can see if the story is on wiki), and tell me what happened to him?

Thanks.
