He's either coming back or not. They didn't give a time frame for him.
What are these comments you are seeing on FB, I can't see them.
Latest News – Seb Montaz is back at Advanced Base Camp (6,500m) as planned. He was with Kilian at around 7,500 metres as Kilian was continuing his ascent. Seb reports that Kilian was in good shape and weather conditions seemed good. He is now waiting for Kilian to return to Advanced Base Camp. We will post an update as soon as there is more news!
I think it's been quite some time since that post...
Yep, over 13 hours since that last update. Jornet is likely dead since they say the weather is good so their is no hold up. Probably fell like the guy in the last climbing thread.

Hillary collapses after losing.
I don't think he's anywhere near Hillary step route but seems like clock is ticking.
Shouldn't Jornet be carrying a radio? Should be very easy to call him if he is still alive. And hasn't there been cell phone service all the way up Mount Everest for several years now?

He's apparently not carrying a radio or phone.

Ok then this Jornet is a total idiot and exudes hubris just like that other idiot Steck that died. That article says he also carried no oxygen. Total moron just asking to die.

You're going to be disappointed if he comes back alive, aren't you
UPDATE... "Kilian Jornet Burgada is "going down slowly" from Everest and Seb Montez is going up from the Cba to the aid
"Kilian Jornet summited Everest in record time without oxygen, solo (no sherpas), and is on his way down!... He left the monastery Saturday afternoon and is on his way back already :) According to Kilian's parents he is spending the night on the north face, maybe as low as advanced base camp, and will descend the rest of the way in the morning"
Other news sites also stating that he was seen on the way down and most likely stopped and rested in somebody's expedition tent on the descent.
He is still an idiot and hubris. It's only a matter of time before he ends up like Steck.
