My prayers are with this little boy, but I don't know how they will get him down before he freezes to death. At 10K it is very cold, and not enough O2. Can't use a helicopter since it would tip over the device.

Perhaps drop a skydiver onto it? The extra weight of the skydiver would bring it down slowly. It would be virtually suicidal, but better than letting the poor kid freeze to death.

Who would you ask to do that?

its at 2k and not 10k. Plenty of oxygen at either one.

Purchase a clue. I'm at 7K feet right now. There's plenty of O2 and it's nice and warm. I can ride the 6 wheeler for a couple of hours and be at 10K feet, and I'll still be fine.

I have been to 15,000 feet in Chile. There is plenty of air.

He also has an advantage of living at 6,000 feet so he can overcome a further rise.

At 10,000 feet it is definetely cold. Should be fine in there for a few hours.

I am worried about velocity and gravity.
